You didn't say where you read that.

In any event, I've had to do that myself, including upgrading openssl. If
you're running ssh from inetd it's pretty easy, just use 'at' or 'nohup' to
run a script containing 'cd $SSL; make install ; cd $SSH ; make ; make
install' or the like. Obviously, you'll want to configure both packages
beforehand (and make openssl) to make sure there's no new dependencies to
worry about.

Not a perfect solution, but it works.
