I agree. But we need to keep the build process behavior the same for
existing RPM and DEB packages until we can push updates, and right
now, the packages all expect the OpenSSL token to build by default if
the dependencies exist in the distro build system, and they don't
expect it to bomb out if the dependencies aren't there (the key module
just doesn't get built).

If anyone has time to run around to Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, and
Fedora, and update all their package metadata, then we can get change
things so that key modules are built only if --enable-X is
specified. Until then, we can't go changing the build behavior, or it
will break the distro packages.
