ok.  Reading the script, I can see that of 3 parts, build.com checks for
the existence of 2 and asks if you want to rebuild them:

        a) the library under [.www.library...]
        b) the header files under [.src.chrtrans]

The objects under [.src] are recompiled unconditionally (the third part).  I
haven't done much to this script, but it could be modified to do a similar
check for the third part.  That may be what you're referring to.  But it
only offers to skip the first two parts if you're running interactively.
If run in batch mode, it always updates:

        $   If f$mode() .eqs. "BATCH" 
        $   Then 
        $       write sys$output "  Updating WWWLib_''option'.olb"
        $   Else

that could be changed to

        $   If f$mode() .eqs. "BATCH" 
        $   Then 
        $       write sys$output "  Retaining WWWLib_''option'.olb"
        $       goto Compile_CHRTRANS
        $   Else

The mms (descrip.mms) files don't mention openssl, so I think you're
referring to the build.com file.
