Amen to that.

Did you happen to notice the changelog for the android openssl repository?

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/external/openssl.git;a=commit;h=f48372ded3bb76c2598392aa58abe6e2eb7432d2

They deleted _a_lot_ of files (I assume as unnecessary).  What if
someone wants to port android to a platform with a hardware crypto
engine? .../crypto/engines/* is gone.

Yikes.  Something's giving me the heebee-jeebees, and it's not
Halloween. :-S

Yes, I know, drop in vanilla openssl to fix it.  Still, it makes my skin
crawl...
