IMHO that is fairly good idea (apart from screwing windows users).

Also now that I think about it, it might be safer as well since once
we change our GPL license we might be incompatibile with other GPL
licenses (would that be case). and thus for example it could prevent us
from incorporating other GPL'ed code out of there (like from ettercap).
Or am I missunderstanding GPL.

So seems to me like config option which checks a) if there's OpenSSL *and*
b) if the plaform is linux or BSD and only then enable the functionality
would best IMHO.
