I don't believe '--enable-shared' is default. After a configure/make/make install, I was missing the shared object. So I had to RTFM ('configure --help'). '--disable-openssl' was spotted after RTFM'ing.

Attached is a proposed modification to the README file, including recent comments by Simon.

Simon: a couple of sections were added since your last comments. The sections are in the same style as the previous sections. Specifically, SECURITY ADVISORIES and MAILING LISTS.

Finally, no changes were made to the developers version of the readme (alpha).
