This is not that much a reply to myself, but a reaction to the discussion about whether to link against openssl and with respect to Warren's hint about possible license implications. So I decided it would be best to use mhash available through Fedora Extras if the user wants to have the md5 hash functionality in mbuffer. This makes it necessary to prevent mbuffer to detect openssl if present on the build system during configure. Special thanks to Paul for pointing that out, and how to do so. openssl will not be used, hence the license question Warren pointed to is no issue then. To not link mbuffer against a library in /usr/lib (libmhash.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmhash.so.2 (0x0071b000)) the md5 feature is disabled by default, but can be chosen as a rebuild option. The target behind that is to keep mbuffer usable even without a /usr partition being mounted (i.e. emergency case).
