We use the standard AX_CHECK_OPENSSL() m4 macro from autoconf-archive to detect OpenSSL. The macro uses pkg-config to

I would not suggest that, but if the test at the end of the configure had said it can compile against openssl, but that
a wrong or insufficient information would prevent building _ssl then a lot of cycles could be saved.
I suppose that might be impossible as the test might need to actually try and
build _ssl.so.
