And if this means OpenSSL bundled also? :-)  Bundling apache-modssl would
also be nice, as with K5, krbIV support versions of various packages, etc.

BTW, "they" tell me that when the new crypto guidelines are released, the
chances are they will also be friendly to open source.  Hopefully "they"
are right.  (they being people appropriately placed in the process)

I personally prefer the European arrangement where open source crypto is
fine, but closed source is subject to limitations :-).  I guess we
shouldn't get started on the whole crypto export debate, but just to
summarize the eventual conclusion: "It sucks".
