Well, the problem is that I am compiling on WinNT using msvc (I know, I
know... they make me.) Since it's NT, I can't do any symbolic linking...
Plus, I work on a product that uses a directory structure and build options
that I don't get to change very easily (the build group can't handle too
many changes at once). Any "vendor" (openSSL in this case) incs have to be
in a directory that is a peer of the code I am writing. Making it #include
<openssl/xyz.h> forces me to either change them all back to the way they
used to be (i.e. witout the "openssl/", go back to SSLeay0.9.0.b, or spend
6-8 weeks of writing supporting documentation to petition the powers that be
to change "the way it is" so that I can get the changes made to use OpenSSL
(try justifying this to somebody who doesn't know anything about it).

Oh, you may ask... However, the move to require 'openssl/' was to
avoid conflicts with other headers. And honestly, what's so bad with
havign that kind of identification? Or would you want all X headers
to step down from 'X11/' as well?

Hmm, noone really stops you from adding -Ipath/include/openssl to your
compiling command, although it's not recommended...
