The motivating feature here is the "checksum of config files" stuff.
I voted for linking with crypto if available, since without it we just

I'm the one who pushed for the "include if you find -lcrypto", but I
also don't want to further complicate the build process for MPI.
Presented with this, guess we should go back to the old way and make
it mandatory that people request --with-openssl.
