I knew I could do it using configure, I just liked the solution where
I just have to maintain one list of headers to be installed and linked
better. What I ended up doing was to include a link target like this
links: $(opensslinclude_HEADERS)
@$(PERL) $(top_srcdir)/util/mklink.pl \
$(top_srcdir)/include/openssl/ \
$(opensslinclude_HEADERS);\
for i in $(SUBDIRS); do \
(cd $$i; $(MAKE) links ); \
done;
in all Makefiles (through a include statement). That way the link will
automatically be generated if someone adds a new header.
