I'm guessing at EAY's intensions here, but I've noticed that there are
a couple of different Makefile.* in some directories, like crypto/des/.  
My guess is that EAY wanted to provide for variants if needed, with
Makefile becoming a link to the Makefile.xxx that would suit the
current OS best.

What is really so bad with that?  I know, if you do a lot of changes
everywhere, especially adding new files or changing what files are
#included, you end up doing a lot of dependency rechecking, but other
than that, not really...
