 seeing the openssl project being a dependency of the orbot project in its
 `config`.

 > This is handled by https://github.com/n8fr8/tor-android which is pulled
 as a gradle dependency in orbot. tor-android project handles building of
 tor, openssl and libevent for android. If we need to build these libraries
 and use them through config, it will also require pulling down and
 configuring the tor-android project and patching it. Is this the way you
 are looking at going? Or is prebuilt gradle dependency good for now?

 We should do that, yes, but maybe not now due to time constraints. So, I
 think the prebuilt gradle dependency is good for now but we should fix
 that before the next major alpha release.
