   Of course.  Isn't everyone?

   I'll see if I can work up some ambition.  Before it died, the
installation procedure seemed to create a new/strange/bad directory for
the header files:

Directory ALP$DKC100:[UTILITY.SOURCE.OPENSSL.1_1_0-pre3.include.openssl]

aes.h;1                    11  15-FEB-2016 20:33:03.39  (RWED,RWED,RE,R)
[...]

   The [.openssl] subdirectory looks new (and undesirable).  (And,
nothing beyond the header files got installed.)
