But in a case like this it isnt a SLOT. All openssl builds have |
| 20 |
SLOT="0", they just provide diffrent library versions (0.9.6 and 0.9.7) |

which cause this breakage. Same goes against other such interesting |
| 22 |
"known to break" things. (libpng was another pretty example. ) |

That doesn't mean its not good data to keep around. |
