Erlang uses openssl as a default ssl library and I am not too sure

couple of options.
1. Try to see whether libressl can be used within the Erlang build.
2. Add support for openssl in rumprun.
I don't have a clue which one will be faster but adding openssl to
rumprun will definitely be better for other applications as well,
while libressl to Erlang may not be much useful to the community in
general.
It's good to provide openssl as an alternative. That said, it would be
nice if it actually were an actual alternative instead of "one works
with some but not others". So, I'd appreciate some sort of [quick]
analysis/writeup on why libressl wouldn't work with Erlang, along with
reporting the findings to the right upstream community.
