I always compile OpenSSL locally rather than using binary packages, and
I haven't had any dependency problems.  You'll probably have to do the
same if you want to make OpenSSL work with SUNWski, because the entropy
source for OpenSSL is somthing that's configured at compile time and
cannot, to my knowledge, be changed later.

(Footnote:  if 0.9.7d is out, I guess I need to upgrade everything
again....)
