I'm not sure what the problem was with rc2, I just know it there was a problem
that was brought up in another mail thread.

Yes, it was intentional. This is an OpenSSL DLL which is needed for BIND 9.
The way that the DLL gets built means that a later version of the DLL
may not be compatible with previous versions of the DLL that other applications
may be relying on. This is a build issue that the OpenSSL people should really
address. The only reliable way to ensure that there is no problem with BIND 9
and for that matter any other application is to keep the DLL in the same
directory as named and the other files and not place it in the system32
directory and have it shared by other applications.

I realised this when I started to work on NTP and all sorts of problems
showed up.

So I suggest you leave it with the rest of the binaries. It will avoid lots
of problems later.
