Worse, it would mean linking openssl into every program which uses the
SASL libraries.
Garry and I didn't have as much luck building shared libraries on
Solaris simply by adding "shared" to the ./config invocation; however,
Garry did say that if we use the native Solaris compiler, it works fine.
Anyway, we clearly want shared openssl libraries for Solaris. So,
Garry, please prepare a patch which does that in the manner you think is
best.
Also, contrary to what I said on zephyr yesterday, I think I want to try
building the Linux release without building openssl, and rely instead on
the native libraries. But that only needs to affect what I do.
