I totally agree with the sentiment. And we did remove those
inclusions at one point in the 0.9.7 branch. At some point (after
another storm with Theo), I did a test compile of an old OpenSSH
against whatever was in the HEAD fo OpenSSL development at that time.
It went *KABOOM*, and the single cause for that *KABOOM* was that
evp.h didn't include all those algorithm headers any more. After I
placed them back, I got just a couple of warnings that were a piec of
cake to deal with.
So, in light of a huge complaint from Theo that we're changing so damn
much between versions and breaking compiles of old programs that used
to work fine, I put those inclusions back.
I think that for 0.9.7, this part is staying as it is.

Quite true.
