[SailfishDevel] Harbour should allow libcrypt/openssl

[Kari Pihkala]

It would be nice to know how stable the openssl api actually is. Apple has
deprecated it on Mac OS X due to its unstable api between versions:

"OpenSSL does not provide a stable API from version to version."
"If your app depends on OpenSSL, you should compile OpenSSL yourself and
statically link a known version of OpenSSL into your app."
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/security/Conceptual/cryptoservices/GeneralPurposeCrypto/GeneralPurposeCrypto.html

This was a concern in openssl 0.9.x versions. I don't know if the api has
become more stable after openssl version 1.0.

Anyway, statically linking works always.

Cheers,
Kari
