   What could go wrong?  Most of the non-builder problems (and some of
the builder problems) were lost/ignored changes, so easy enough to find
and re-fix.

   That's where the serious fun should be found.  (Especially if you try
to use the (doomed) HTTP[S] code.)

   My long-neglected rx2660 seems to have VSI VMS V8.4-2L1 installed,
but all its old Community PAKs have expired, so I'll try to get it
updated to -2L3 when the new Community PAKs arrive.  Then I should be
able to try some VSI [Open]SSL kits against the latest ckvker.com.  But,
as I've said, I'd expect anything older than OpenSSL 1.1.1 to fail, so
I'd expect only the new VSI SSL111 kit to have a chance.

   Because almost every OpenSSL version from every origin uses different
logical names and/or .EXE/.OLB names, until I try it, I would not be
amazed by an error (or more) with that SSL111 kit.  Should be easy to
make any needed adjustments, however.  (I hope.)
