Bug#551007: [Net-ssleay-devel] Bug#551007: please add ripemd160 digest to libnet-ssleay-perl

[Mike McCauley]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for th patch.
Thinking about backwards compat, is <openssl/ripemd.h> available going back to 
the dim history of openssl? If not it should be #ifdefed with some version 
number (net-ssleay is expected to compile against old versions of openssl).

Cheers.
