It seems that's only there because libcrypto requires it, so it can be fixed
at the same time.

I can confirm that with -lcrypto removed, it still seems to link fine, and
the client works (at least in simple cases).

It gets a little more involved for the LDAP'ified version of the server, which
indirectly links to OpenSSL already. I haven't tested that part.

A possible patch follows.
