nmh currently includes the reference MD5 implementation of RFC 1321.
Unfortunately this has a ``problematic'' license. I dealt with this
for another software project and asked on the debian-legal mailing
list where concerns were mentioned [0]. Therefore packages for Debian
for instance would probably need to have the md5 code replaced in
order to comply to their Free Software guidelines.

Does nmh work usefully on any boxes that don't have OpenSSL
available?  If not, can/should we just punt and use the OpenSSL
version?
