move to openssl-1.0 and skype

It appears that move to openssl-1.0 means that available skype
binaries will break on Fedora 12.

$ ldd /usr/bin/skype | grep so.8
        libssl.so.8 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.8 (0x00369000)
        libcrypto.so.8 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.8 (0x001fc000)

I know that skype is binary-only and so on but in practical terms
that would be a very serious trouble.  Or maybe this is only
indirect and openssl-1.0 will work too?  No way to check that really
in the current state of rawhide where attempts to update to any
packages using openssl-1.0 fail on dependencies.

If /usr/lib/libssl.so.8 is really required would be possible to have
'compat-openssl' for that?
