I've been trying to set up midas to create an automatic elog entry at the end of
each run and I've run into a problem. I've setup an elog on our server which
uses SSL and it seems that the melog provided by midas to create logbook entries
doesn't know any SSL.

My solution to this was to copy the crypt.c from the elog package to the
computer running midas and changed melog.c and the makefile to use SSL if a flag
-s is used. Does this seem like a sensible solution or did I oversee the obvious
and/or right way to do this?
