Back to my original question then: why? Why treat OpenSSL version 0.9.7 
and above different than the previous versions? Is there any change in 
the MD5 code between those versions (I don't think so, not anything that 
affects this issue anyway)?

Anyway, here's what happens to me, if 'MD5_H' isn't defined:

$ ./configure --with-openssl=/usr/local
[tweak the Makefiles to make Kerberos somewhat compile (RH 7.2)]
[snip a lot of other output]
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. 
-I/usr/kerberos/include -I/usr/kerberos/include/kerberosIV -I../include 
-I../lib -I../sasldb  -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include  -Wall 
-W -Wall -g -O2 -c otp.c
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/kerberos/include 
-I/usr/kerberos/include/kerberosIV -I../include -I../lib -I../sasldb 
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include -Wall -W -Wall -g -O2 -c otp.c 
  -fPIC -DPIC -o otp.lo
In file included from ../include/saslplug.h:11,
                  from otp.c:60:
../include/md5.h:30: conflicting types for `MD5_CTX'
/usr/local/include/openssl/md5.h:103: previous declaration of `MD5_CTX'
make[2]: *** [otp.lo] Error 1

Yes, the name 'MD5_CTX' is used in both OpenSSL and SASL "native" MD5, 
so that clash was sure to come.

So am I! But I have another remark further down here:

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What kind of an error is that? Is the macro 'MD5_H' used elswhere in 
OpenBSD? Unfortunately, I don't have a OBSD 3.2 around to test on...
