                      itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks

                      which are currently in Configure.

       2. The massive symlinking of Makefile.ssl -> Makefile:

          First the `make -f Makefile.ssl links' command is nasty, second the

          whole process is slow and third it seems to be done without real

          need. And forth, the dependecies are currently missing.  And fifth,

          it's complicated to always go to the top-level in order to get the

          local variables overriden.

          Suggestion: Rename Makefile.ssl to Makefile.in, add

                      dependencies to Makefile.in and change the build process

                      to _generate_ Makefile out of Makefile.in by

                      substituting variables like CC, etc. This solves the

                      above problems.

       3. The xxx.org -> xxx.h generation:

       2. The xxx.org -> xxx.h generation:

          It's not obvious for which file xxx.org is the source.

          Suggestion: Rename xxx.org to xxx.h.in (Autoconf style), this way

                      one sees that xxx.h.in is the input for xxx.h
