We already have the 'ssl_library' variable. Can't we use that instead
of hardcoding 'openssl'? e.g:

summary(
  {
    'ssl': ssl.found() ? [ssl, '(@0@)'.format(ssl_library)] : ssl,
  },
  section: 'External libraries',
  list_sep: ', ',
)

And it will output:
ssl                    : YES 3.0.8, (openssl)

I don't think that using 'ssl_library' will increase the complexity.
