A caveat to anyone who may end up working on SSL integration.  The SSL kits 
produced by OpenVMS Engineering take the warnings about API incompatibilities
in the OpenSSL disclaimers seriously.  So the shareable images for kits based 
on OpenSSL 0.9.6 have match code (EQUAL,0,960), and kits based on OpenSSL 
0.9.7 have match code (EQUAL,0,970).  So you can't link with one and run with 
the other.  Current Samba kits are designed to be easy to relink on the 
target system, so wouldn't have a problem, but anyone hoping to develop a 
PCSI based Samba kit would need to take this into account.
