Update p5-Crypt-SSLeay to 0.51nb7
For OpenSSL 0.9.8b SSLeay_add_all_algorithms() does not setup any
algorithms, wheras SSL_library_init() does. The net result was that
SSL_CTX_new() would return a NULL pointer causing a perl coredump
in such cases as:
my $request = HTTP::Request->new( "GET", \
'https://<some_url>' );
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $response = $ua->request($request);
Tracking this down was an entire flaming evening and change of my
life that I'm never going to get back, but at least my NetBSD-4
retail machines can now run NetBSD-4 built perl binaries again.
