Based on Corinna's comment, it's fair to assume that if you have this
package, it is because you have one of the following situations:

   1. All your packages are not up-to-date or you've installed an
      obsolete package.

   2. You had a package that used it but didn't get uninstalled
      properly for some reason, leaving around openssl097.

   3. You have a third-party or local Cygwin application using openssl097.

None of these are a "problem" but in the last case, you should consider
updating the application in question as it won't happen automatically
as part of your next update of Cygwin.

There's no easy way to find an app using a particular DLL.  The dependencies
flow from the application to the DLLs, not the reverse.  You can check the
DLLs an app uses with 'cygcheck'.

'openssh' is a package managed by Corinna so I think you can be assured
that the current version doesn't use openssl097.
