The openssl at Delilinux was updated Nov 27.  The latest openssl came out
about a month before that.  I think you posted your version before the one
at Delilinux was updated.

The instructions for installation are roughly:
Rename the file wermit, give it permissions (chmod x wermit), test it on
your machine, rename it kermit, and put it on the path (for instance in
/usr/bin/).  If you want documentation get that separately and put it
where it belongs.  ckututor.txt is a long user's manual.
