Oh, one more thought: the removal of the --disable-strong-random
documentation stanza means there's no explanation of what to do
to build on platforms without /dev/urandom. Perhaps something
like this in installation.sgml:
<para>
- You need <productname>OpenSSL</productname>, if you want to support
- encrypted client connections. The minimum required version is
- 0.9.8.
+ You need <productname>OpenSSL</productname> if you want to support
+ encrypted client connections. <productname>OpenSSL</productname>
+ is also required for random number generation on platforms that
+ do not have <filename>/dev/urandom</filename> (except Windows).
+ The minimum required version is 0.9.8.
</para>
