When openssl is built with -DRSAref, the RSAref method is used
by default but the EAY method in rsa_eay.c is still compiled and
included in the library. It's been said that compiling patent
infringing code is an infringement.
So to be patent safe the contents of rsa_eay.c should be wrapped
in an "#ifndef RSAref" so the non-RSA RSA code isn't compiled.
Until that makes it into the distribution, patent challenged users
can either put in the ifndef themselves or just delete rsa_eay.o
from the list in the Makefile.
Are there any other files that have code that's replaced by RSAref,
that need to be treated the same way?
