Nothing really. It just links Coda against libcrypto for the MD5 and
SHA1 digest algorithms. The main tree already has 'reference' C
implementations of these functions so there is no functional difference.
But libcrypto typically has an optimized assembly version, so using
those should be useful for performance reasons.

I might also have made the kerberos code (used as an alternative to the
Coda authentication) dependent on this option.
