  Note on shared libraries
  ------------------------
 
- Shared libraries have certain caveats.  Binary backward compatibility
- can't be guaranteed before OpenSSL version 1.0.  The only reason to
- use them would be to conserve memory on systems where several programs
- are using OpenSSL.
-
- For most systems, the OpenSSL Configure script knows what is needed to
- build shared libraries for libcrypto and libssl.  On these systems,
- the shared libraries are currently not created by default, but giving
- the option "shared" will get them created.
+ For most systems the OpenSSL Configure script knows what is needed to
+ build shared libraries for libcrypto and libssl. On these systems
+ the shared libraries will be created by default. This can be suppressed and
+ only static libraries created by using the "no-shared" option. On systems
+ where OpenSSL does not know how to build shared libraries the "no-shared"
+ option will be forced and only static libraries will be created.
