For most custom apps this is a simple process of adding "#include applink.c" to the app's main(). The problem for Python developers is that their Python program is not main(), and if python.exe does not have the OPENSSLApplink interface, they cannot import M2Crypto, pyOpenSSL, or use ctypes to wrap OpenSSL, and write a PEM file without throwing an error. (That said, Daniel Clark says he is not experiencing problems with NCrypt. I have not verified.)

I'm probably missing something here. Python 2.6/3.x uses OpenSSL for the hashlib and ssl modules. Doesn't this mean that this applink.c file is part of the standard build now?
