Hi All,

I can't test anything but here's an idea. What if we create a
`openssl-0.9.7-so'
spell that *only* installs libcrypto-0.9.7.so and libssl-0.9.7.so? We can make
it an optional dependency of OpenSSL spell until next ISO release for example.
This way, old spells may (testing required) remain functional until they're
recast, while all new and recast spells would use OpenSSL 0.9.8 includes and
so-s and will not need 0.9.7 so-s. A dirty hack of course, but it may work.

Sergey.
