Dave, Thanks for pointing this out. The behavior is the same for all platforms where OpenSSL is concerned. The snmplib/md5 object is built in all cases. Its not referred to if USE_OPENSSL is defined when keytools.c or scapi.c compiles. I defer to your wordsmithing should you wish to rephrase README.win32.
