OpenSSH 2.1.0 won't build without rc5 and idea
OK, I've hacked configure so that it simply checks that it can link
with openssl. Now, when I run make, it dies on authfile.c while
trying to include the non-existent headers openssl/rc5.h and
openssl/idea.h. I built my installation of openssl without those
algorithms in order to avoid commercial licensing issues.

The following diff band-aids the problem, but I think it's down-stream
of the proper fix. This configure stuff is cool when it works, but
way too complex for my limited brainpower when it doesn't. :-)

I still need to test the version I just compiled. Since I haven't
seen any reports of this particular problem, I guess I'm in
uncharted territory. I'll have more to report later today or next
week.
