creating, modifying, extracting, and mounting files in the Windows Imaging
Format (WIM files). wimlib and its command-line frontend 'wimlib-imagex'
provide a free and cross-platform alternative to Microsoft's WIMGAPI, ImageX,
To install wimlib and wimlib-imagex on UNIX-like systems, you can compile from
source (e.g. './configure && make && sudo make install'). Alternatively, check

-* OpenSSL / libcrypto (optional)
- wimlib can use the SHA-1 message digest implementation from libcrypto
- (usually provided by OpenSSL) instead of compiling in yet another SHA-1
- implementation.

* syslinux (optional)
The default is --with-fuse when building for Linux, and --without-fuse
otherwise.
---without-libcrypto
- Build in functions for SHA-1 rather than using external SHA-1 functions
- from libcrypto (usually provided by OpenSSL).

- The default is to use libcrypto if it is found on your system.

wimlib is independently developed and does not contain any code, data, or files
copyrighted by Microsoft. It is not known to be affected by any patents.
-On UNIX-like systems, if you do not want wimlib to be dynamically linked with
-libcrypto (OpenSSL), configure with --without-libcrypto. This replaces the SHA1
-implementation with built-in code and there will be no difference in
