libcrypto/openssl : Which to use

[Aditya Kousik]

Hello Christian,

Here's a brief summary of what I've done. The project is hosted at
github.com/named-data/ndn-cxx. It's a novel Internet architecture
that is becoming quite popular.

I wrote the port file to clone the project to the contrib folder and
copy all .h files in the ndn-cxx/src folder, manually adding all folders.

Next I wrote a target.mk file in test/libports/ndn-cxx with a dummy
target.mk file that adds the ndn-cxx library as LIBS.

ndn-cxx by itself has dependencies on boost libraries, libcrypto++,
libsqlite3. Sqlite3 was already present. I wrote a libboost.port
and cryptopp.port to compile before ndn-cxx, while manually adding
the required header files of boost.

Here's the commit of all changes I've done so far.
https://github.com/adikou/genode/commit/df5f4cd7730095ad1dea42151946df63baf133ef

This builds libc, libm, libc_lxip, zlib, libbz2
and additionally cryptopp, boost.

I assumed since all header files concerned were put in the
contrib/crytopp-<hash>/include folder, they will be included
during compilation. I've added a line in lib/import/import-ndn-cxx.mk
to add INC_DIR as well.

I hope that establishes some ground on what I'm attempting to doHere's a
