If you do this, it might be a smart idea to write in the README and/or
INSTALL and/or configure hints that it's worthwhile to link against
OpenSSL even if you're not planning on using any crypto features, in
order to benefit from this.

But, again, really, the 'right' thing is to figure out to marshal into
their API rather than duplicate their implementation. I'm fine with
an unoptimized fallback, but if OpenSSL is available and they've done
the hard work to optimize it, I'd like APR-using programs to benefit.
