This is - I expect an autoconf/automake problem - and I would appreciate
some help identifying what I need to complain about to THEM. It is not
really an AIX problem - any program not having pre-requ in /usr andor
/usr/local suffer from this.

The standard solution is so say something like with-ssl=/some-new-prefix

However, just in case - to permit people to have two versions of libssl.a
and libcrypto.a installed (especially since you use a new member number
scheme) you may want to have ${prefix} - when not equal to /usr or
/usr/local - to take precedence. -- Had I had /usr/lib/libssl.a openssh
would have just built against OpenSSL rather than LibreSSL (or is it
libRESSL?)

Like I said in the subject - just an FYI.

I shall add to the thread as I progress to a successful packaging.
