I'd be very happy if OpenSSL used GNU autoconf, and did -not- use Perl, to compile itself. I use a totally-autoconfed version of SSLeay 0.8.1, which was created for a project of mine that uses autoconf for all the rest of its pieces as well (it's built out of a substantial quantity of homegrown c

Ok, so we are using OpenSSL in one of our new products, and I have taken quite a bit of time to make sure that all of our sources (including all the third party libraries we license, etc) can build in a separate object directory. This is really handy for building debug and release versions in par
