I don't use any knobs.  I think Christos me^Hissed these when he
switched to new openssl.

The old openssl installed these manual pages as openssl_M5.3 etc and
obsolete entries for MD5.3 reflected reality.

Now apache2/openssl installs MD5.3 (and others) and then the outdated
obsolete entries delete those freshly installed files right away.
Except that you jabe compression enabled and the obsolete entries
don't have the .man keyword.  And on case-insensitive fs MD5.3 from
openssl overwrites md5.3 from libc.
