Yeah, thought that might be a consideration... OpenSSL sure is one big
fella. But on the other hand, once it's in the repository I guess it
wouldn't grow that much?

Well, deleted yes, but moved? Only if we are interested in keeping
correct version history of OpenSSL, which I guess we aren't. (There's
the official repository for that.)

Oh yes! That would be sweet. I guess that chances that many other
projects switch to SVN is bigger now as Sourceforge offers SVN-hosting.

Ok, it was just a thought. I would welcome the inclusion of zlib in the
repos, and I see the reasons for (behemoth) OpenSSL...
