+ o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
+
+ 1. The config vs. Configure scripts
+ It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
+ src/Configure. It confuses.
+ Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
+ script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
+ Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
+ itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
+ which are currently in Configure.
+
+ 2. The massive symlinking of Makefile.ssl -> Makefile:
+ First the `make -f Makefile.ssl links' command is nasty, second the
+ whole process is slow and third it seems to be done without real
+ need. And forth, the dependecies are currently missing. And fifth,
+ it's complicated to always go to the top-level in order to get the
+ local variables overriden.
+ Suggestion: Rename Makefile.ssl to Makefile.in, add
+ dependencies to Makefile.in and change the build process
+ to _generate_ Makefile out of Makefile.in by
+ substituting variables like CC, etc. This solves the
+ above problems.
+
+ 3. The xxx.org -> xxx.h generation:
+ It's not obvious for which file xxx.org is the source.
+ Suggestion: Rename xxx.org to xxx.h.in (Autoconf style), this way
+ one sees that xxx.h.in is the input for xxx.h
