+  +) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
+     PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
+     poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
+     which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
+     ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
+     functions prevents this.

      NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not to be done automatically
