Pkg xen devel - Jun 2008 - xen-utils links libssl

Hi folks

The blktap things in xen-utils links against libcrypto. The code is GPL.

What should we do about it? It uses it only for MD5 and even only uses
32bit of the result.

Patch to remove the libcrypto dependency and use libgcrypt. Completely
unchecked.

Next step would be the removal of the inline copy of aes and also use
the functionality from gcrypt.
