That was me. I have proactively removed the dependency (openssl -> openssl096) since all new packages build for 1.5.x should definitely build against openssl. There will be no openssl096 package for 1.5.x. However, I've changed the setup.hint file of wget to depend on openssl096 for now. As soon as our wget maintainer rebuilds a new wget release against Cygwin 1.5.x, it will also automagically build against openssl-0,97 and the dependency has to be reverted to openssl.
