+# Unlike other OSes (like Solaris, Linux, Tru64, IRIX) BSD run-time
+# linkers (tested OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD) "demand" RPATH set on
+# .so objects. Apparently application RPATH is not global and does
+# not apply to .so linked with other .so. Problem manifests itself
+# when libssl.so fails to load libcrypto.so. One can argue that we
+# should engrave this into Makefile.shared rules or into BSD-* config
+# lines above. Meanwhile let's try to be cautious and pass -rpath to
+# linker only when --prefix is not /usr.
