The approach of adding a Makefile option for each CommonCrypto
facility does not really scale well. For instance, these days, I
generally build git against OpenSSL from MacPorts, which gives me a
warning-free git build since MacPorts/OpenSSL lacks those
Apple-specific deprecation flags. With this patch series introducing
several Makefile knobs, people wishing to use MacPorts/OpenSSL will
have to tweak each knob. These patches already introduce two knobs
(COMMON_DIGEST_SHA1, COMMON_DIGEST_HMAC). Adding more knobs to silence
the remaining 29 deprecation warnings will make the build more
cumbersome for those who prefer OpenSSL. Instead, introducing a single
knob (such as APPLE_COMMON_CRYPTO) would avoid this problem.

More generally, is the approach of trying to figure out CommonCrypto
replacements for DIGEST, HMAC, and the other 29 warnings worthwhile?
After all, Apple introduced deprecation warnings due to the
ABI-instability of OpenSSL, not due to any particular flaw in OpenSSL
or its API. A more manageable approach might simply be to disable that
particular warning on Darwin (via CFLAGS or perhaps '#pragma GCC
diagnostic ignored' for more fine-grained control).
