[omniORB] Red Hat Linux 8.0 - SRPMS compilation problem

[Alessandro Oliveira]

I'm running openssl-0.9.6b-29 (the default on RH80).

Do you think this looks like a bug on RedHat packaged openssl or maybe a 
omniORB false assumption?

If  SSL support makes omniORB it more memory hungry even when using 
unencripted connections or even less stable, we should clearly make it 
optional, but if it doesn't harm I think it should be left in.
