In my case the libruli author was very responsive. But in case of Solaris many 
open source developers simply do not have any system available for 
development/testing. Although it might be worth installing Solaris 10 on x86 
now.

This is both not worth mentioning on the web page, but both worth fixing it. 
If you can send me the compiler output I'll try to fix both.
Theorectically sipsak should even compile without openssl, as is has it own 
MD5 implementation as fall back.
