    Hmm. You are right.

    But...

    I can clean up the world build pretty extensively if it can be mostly
    guaranteed that src/crypto is present.

    We currently have 2 telnets; the non-crypto telnet is constructed
    with unifdef(1), and could easily be made by NOT defining some
    "naughty" macros (-DENCRYPTION, -DAUTHENTICATION). This would
    kill for ever the 'thou must commit to both telnets in the
    prescribed manner' rule, at the risk of possibly not having telnet
    after make world if src/crypto is not present.

    Likewise, we have libmd, which is a duplicate of some of the functionality
    of libcrypto. I'd like to see if a "safe" libhash (say) can be made
    from src/crypto/openssl/..., which libcrypto (if present) could depend on.

    The downside of this is requiring that src/crypto is present or else
    losing some functionality.

    SO - my query reduces to "How many folks are there out there who can
    NOT have crypto SOURCES on their system, even if they are doing a non
    crypto build?"
