If one tries to build Sage on OpenSolaris, python will not build, complaining
about a missing md5 module.

sage: An error occurred while installing python-2.6.2.p4
William said the other day the way around this is to build the OpenSSL
libraries
first. Then I looked and see that the OpenSSL libraries were at one time
included in Sage, but were removed since they are not GPL. This was done in
ticket #478
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/478
So I'm not sure what to do here. Clearly I could install the OpenSSL libraries,
and will no doubt do that so progress can be made. But this seems quite a
fundamental problem. There seems two choices
* Include OpenSSL with Sage, which we can't do as its not GPL
* Tell people to build that themselves, which is still meaning
BTW, I was hoping to get my changes for the code which checks the prerequisites
for Sage (version 0.5) reviewed.

Should OpenSSL library support be considered a prerequiste for Sage?
There are both legal and technical issues here.
