So anjuta-subversion.so doesn't link against libssl, it links against
libsvn_client, and that brings libssl at some point. But we don't directly link
against libssl. Is that still a GPL violation?

If so, I'll ask the upstream maintainers to more prominently show the OpenSSL
exception.

Cheers,
Emilio
