Binaries are not provided at the OpenSSL download site, so the problem for
people is finding them.
I don't remember having seen a discussion about, but I do see a problem with
the integrity of the contents. There is no guarantee that there is no
trojan horse inside a contributed package.
(This remark is not meant as an offense, just as a general point to think
about!)

I could offer my own ftp site, but I would rather use your script to build
the package and rebuild it before making it available, for the very reason
stated above. If I offer it at my site, I am kind of responsible for the
contents...

Having this said, I don't know whether the policy at hpux.connect.org.uk
has changed. They did not offer cryptographic software for the old export
resctriction rules. This archive would be a good place for HP-UX binaries.
