On Debian & Ubuntu systems curl is packaged twice, once linking to openssl and once with gnutls.
This project currently links to openssl solely for the SHA-hashing functionality, it might be that users want to link to the openssl or gnutls version of curl. I don't really care which they choose - but linking to openssl provides a complication that is best avoided.
If I can "steal" a BSD-licensed SHA-hash implementation I can drop the linkage to openssl and that will ease life for some.
Pointers welcome, otherwise I'll have a hunt once I've finished my tea!
