Okay, let's use --with-ssl then for the new switch name.  The previous
patch is backward-compatible, and will simplify the rest of the set,
so let's move on with it.  Once this is done, my guess is that it
would be cleaner to have a new patch that includes only the
./configure and MSVC changes, and then the rest: test refactoring,
cryptohash, strong random and lastly TLS (we may want to cut this a
bit more though and perhaps have some restrictions depending on the
scope of options a first patch set could support).

I'll wait a bit first to see if there are any objections to this
change.
