Comment (by kini):
About OpenID sans ssl module: looks like it just silently breaks, i.e.
clicking on certain providers in the OpenID login box just... doesn't do
anything. On the other hand it's pretty clearly marked in the options that
turning on OpenID requires the ssl module to be available in Python, so a
little detail about this in the Sage and sagenb READMEs should be enough,
IMO.
Volker, does your third option involve gutting the upstream source and
only shipping the header files, or can we also build and install the
actual libraries if OpenSSL exists on the system? If the latter, then even
if OpenSSL doesn't exist on the system, aren't we, by hosting the SPKG,
still "distributing OpenSSL", since the user could just untar the SPKG and
run `make && sudo make install` in the src directory?
