What the proposed patch does is always link against openssl's libcrypto when testing for libssl availability, but only if pkg-config didn't already provide the info. So, it's a bit of a corner case where no dynamic openssl libs are available and pkg-config info was not installed with the static libs. I see no potential for breakage, so ACK. Heiko
