We already have a precedent in --with-uuid=LIB which has the backwards
compatibility alias --with-ossp-uuid, so I think adding --with-ssl=LIB
while keeping --with-openssl as an alias is consistent with that. I also
think the code and the interface ended up pretty clean when I added
--with-ssl in my latest patch.
The only issue I see with --with-ssl is Window's config.pl which might
end up a bit ugly to support '$config->{openssl} = "path";' as a legacy
alias.
