I posted [0] openssl support with SHA1 support and asked whether openssl is
possible. At that time added md5 and I think md4. I received no feedback
bach then but if you want me to respin the openssl part (without sha1
now that we have xxhash) I can certainly do that.

also, openssl 3.0 will be apache-2 licensed.
