You're right, I think I was being overly naiive, thinking to myself "well
if I point it to libcrypto.dylib [sans explicit version]", then it ought
to work systems that have [any version of] libcrypto". In reality, I
guess I need to make sure I know what minimum version will be available
on the deployment systems (10.2 in my case), make sure that same are
available on my build system, and link against them expressly.

Yes, you're probably right, and of course that makes sense. Half of my
confusion stems from the bizarre filenaming evident on Panther, like you
previously illuminated.

Using the 10.2 SDK, and making sure I link libcrypto.0.9, it seems to be
working fine for deployment on 10.2 and 10.3 now.
