Like the libmd library that the BSD & Solaris cases use in the current
configure.ac?

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin      1536684 Mar  4 14:31 libcrypto.so.0.9.8*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin        87544 Mar  4 14:32 libmd.so.1*

It's not Xorg's fault if the Linux distros haven't picked it up yet.

Which is one of the reasons I prefer libmd over our own copy of the code.
libmd already has the optimizations for all the various CPU variants - the
small, simple copy of SHA1 in Xorg doesn't stay small & simple once you
start attacking performance and adding in CPU-tuned versions.
