Hmm.... Well, it's working just find on my RH 6.2 box, and it's worked fine
for several upgrades which have included recompiling apache and mod_ssl each
time.

I'm installing openssl from RPM because several RPMs in RedHat 7.2 require
the package -- that's basically it. I wouldn't mind compiling everything
from source -- but then I should probably be using FreeBSD. :-) Well, the
main issue is that other RPMs require the openssl RPM. I suppose I could
just `./configure; make` without `make install` and then point apache's
configure to the source tree/libraries in that directory. I just hadn't
thought of it. I gotta keep openssl installed as an RPM, though.
