o The apps/ dir should be cleaned up.
Ralf proposes the following cleanup:
1. We rename the ssleay program to openssl.
=> This way it's consistent with out project and
with the already started openssl(1) manpage, etc.
2. We no longer create such a lot of <command> links for
"openssl <command>". Instead we follow the "cvs" interface idea
where all <command>s are called as "cvs <command>".
=> This no longer messes up the install dir with
symlinks and provides a single-one and consistent command line
interface. Additionally we can document it nicely with the single
already started openssl(1) manual page.

Ralf: because it messes up the install dir when
$prefix is not a dedicated area like /usr/local/ssl.
When we move them to a standard subdir like
etc/ lib/ or share/ we don't mess up things
when $prefix is /usr or /usr/local, etc.
Additionally it makes package vendors life
