[pacman-dev] Linking to OpenSSL

[Teran McKinney]

Ah, ok. I must have read it incorrectly, but in the case of makepkg I
personally prefer the *sum utilities. It is a simply revert anyways,
and I will eventually get around to doing some major changes to
makepkg (I have a few ideas, but nothing set in stone).

Thanks,
Teran
