I thought getting > away from that was the whole point of abstracting rsaref away, if so. It's done. *everybody* is supposed to just use -lcrypto, regardless of whether they are in the US or elsewhere. -lrsaref and -lRSAglue should not be used in new stuff, unless 3.x portability is required. The only special case at present is if you are in the US and are trying to build static binaries using RSA. In that sole case, you need to add a reference to librsaref.a on the link line. Since we link ports dynamic by default, it shouldn't be an issue.
