main?!?

I've checked two of my installations of OpenSSL 0.9.6c. None of them has a
main included (when running strings on them). One being a Solaris 2.7
installation.

Besides, of course curl comes with a main()...

I've never seen such an error before. And I've seen SSL-related problems
reported with curl many years...!

In fact, curl and the linking of curl with SSL and other stuff has no
particular magic involved and should be pretty much the same as other clients
that use OpenSSL.

If you needed those for the other applications, they'll be needed for curl
too. However, curl's configure script attempts to figure that out
automaticly.
