Bug #4627 - jabberd2 - JabberStudioOh god, I hate RedHat today

A long, long time ago, RedHat decided they didn't need to actually make their system work. Maybe they were smoking dope, maybe not, but, suddenly, everything that used openssl failed to build. See here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82369

So, unless you use that piece of shit hack from hell, pkgconfig, you can't build anything with Redhat's fucking broken openssl/krb mix.

My fucking christ, what the fuck is wrong with a company that thinks they can fucking break compatibility like that? They think they're SuSE with their heavy hands and decrees like that?

No wonder RH has lost a whack of followers. There's no 'underfunding' excuse for adamantly refusing to follow convention, no matter how shiny the nifty-keen alternative is.
