...in which case he should find out the directory in which the crypto
library was installed, and run configure with the option

	--with-ssl=DIR

where "DIR" is the directory in question.

(I suppose the configure script could do what it does for "-lkstat" -
which later versions of UCD SNMP require on Solaris - and also add
"-lcrypto" if it fails to find "sprint_objid" without it, although that
opens up the door to a combinatorial explosion of helper libraries.

We could, I guess, check for a "-lkstat" library and, if it exists and
we're using UCD SNMP, link with it unconditionally, and only do the "try
without and, if that fails, try with" check for "-lcrypto".)
