I do notice that on Linux, the command line doesn't include requests
for either library.

I also seem to recall, in past discussions about "library matters,"
that AIX is more sticky about requiring that libraries be named
expressly. Maybe we add something like...

ifeq($(findstring aix, $(host_os)), aix)
LIBS += -lssl -lcrypt
endif

(Though that doesn't seem to do the trick...)

I'm sure glad we're having this "How many FTP transfers can dance on
the head of a chargeback packet" conversation now, because when
chargebacks happen, it will surely be too expensive to read these
amazing conversations.
