The key to the openssl issue is the same here, get fixed openssl sources,
and recompile with them as the reference bases just as with mod-ssl
appache 1.3.x.

Now for those with less then trust worthy local users <smile>, and relying
upon apache 1.3.x/mod-ssl/libmm compiles, there is the additional question
of whther there is a new mm package available.
