That's usually what we say back when people don't have ar in their 
normal $PATH :-).

Hardly.  Only cc and ranlib are specified in Configure...

True...  Hmm, I'm gonna ponder this, because making such changes to 
Configure is a PITA, and it's easier for me to ask you to adjust 
your $PATH.  I'm pretty sure you're not the only RISC OS user that 
builds OpenSSL.  If I had this kind of complaint from more people, 
I'd be more inclined to make an effort.

No offence meant, it's just that there are a number of bigger things 
that need more attention than this.  I hope you understand.

I'm gonna stall this ticket for now.
