I think there are some licensing issues when mixing GPL and OpenSSL,
since the licenses aren't compatible - but there is an exception
with the "system" openssl, which means the dynamically linked one.
Including any funky naming schemes, like "1.1.0e" or "10" or so...

So I think we need to build RPMS*, should also fix RHEL6's glibc-2.12 ?

I uploaded a 2.6-rc3 binary for OS X ("darwin") now, as well as the
two for GNU ("linux") already there. It requires glib/gtk+ and gnupg,
but fortunately both openssl and libcurl are provided by the system.
The rest can be added by just installing my PyGTK.pkg and GnuPG.pkg.

Upgraded to OCaml 4.01.0 and OPAM 1.1.0 first, before building it...

* Both EPEL 6 and Fedora 20 are currently shipping 0install-2.3.3
  as "zeroinstall-injector". We need a new .spec, for 0install-2.6!
