This is the build.info file in 'crypto', and it tells us a little more
about what's needed to produce 'libcrypto'. LIBS is used again to
source files, 'crypto/aes.c', 'crypto/evp.c' and 'crypto/cversion.c'.
It also shows us that building the object file inferred from
'crypto/cversion.c' depends on 'crypto/buildinf.h'. Finally, it
