+    o  The apps/ dir should be cleaned up. 
+       Ralf proposes the following cleanup:
+       1. We rename the ssleay program to openssl.
+          => This way it's consistent with out project and
+             with the already started openssl(1) manpage, etc.
+       2. We no longer create such a lot of <command> links for
+          "openssl <command>". Instead we follow the "cvs" interface idea
+          where all <command>s are called as "cvs <command>".
+          => This no longer messes up the install dir with
+             symlinks and provides a single-one and consistent command line
+             interface. Additionally we can document it nicely with the single
+             already started openssl(1) manual page.

     o  The installation under "make install" produces a very
