Well, my understanding is that xml-security-c doesn't support OpenSSL 1.1
upstream, the porting is not trivial, and will not be completed in the
release time frame.  So I'm not sure there's any other alternative.

Whatever dependencies that were pushing open-vm-tools to 1.1 may have to
be reverted back to 1.0.
