if the toolchain env vars $AR and/or $RANLIB are set in the environment, the
Configure script should default to those. this matches behavior of many other
package build systems (like autotools) and usage already in place in openssl
itself (CC/etc...).
patch is against OpenSSL_0_9_8-stable, but it's simple and should be easy to
port elsewhere
