Using the setup in the 0.8.1 tarball, plus the patches I have posted as
bug reports, the resulting .deb files _do_ link against libssl for
packages radiusd-freeradius-ldap, radiusd-freeradius-postgresql and
the file rlm_eap_tls-0.8.1.so in the radiusd-freeradius package itself.

Side note, Can someone point me at a reference for the problems openssl
has with licensing? I'm not too clear... Is it as simple as "Openssl
has forbidden linking to GPL software"?
