Ehr. Of course, c_rehash needs to calculate hashes, and uses the openssl
binary for that. So just copying the script is obviously not enough.
But perhaps certtool from gnutls-bin (installed size: 0.4 MB on i386)
can do the trick as well? If you think it's a good idea to reduce the
size of the dependencies, then I can try to make a c_rehash script that
can work with both the openssl binary and certtool, and then you can
depend on gnutls-bin | openssl, possibly saving 1.1 MB of space.
