== Task ==
* no longer ship pyOpenSSL with sagenb (this will be taken care of in
#13121)
* no longer require OpenSSL dev headers in prereq
== Rationale ==
Read the above linked thread, but basically, `notebook(secure=True)` is
rarely used, and is not even really that desirable to use, except for
people setting up multiuser Sage servers, which is a small percentage of
Sage users. Therefore we will require users who want to use
`notebook(secure=True)` to perform the additional step of installing
pyOpenSSL into Sage's Python. This allows us to get rid of our sort of
problematic dependencies on OpenSSL.

----
Apply:
- [attachment:trac_13385-root.patch] and [attachment:trac_13385-root-
doc.v2.patch] to the root repo
- [attachment:trac_13385-sage-library.patch] to the Sage library
Copy http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/palmieri/SPKG/prereq-1.1.tar.gz
to spkg/base.
Still to come: new sagenb spkg (at #13121).
