This bug has two parts:
1. --with-ssl does not add any features, so should be dropped. If required it
should be enabled instead of AC_MSG_ERROR. It's strange to require users to
pass --with-libs configure options for dependent libraries...
2. drop ssl completely
First part still stands if you even need openssl check.
Now about ssl check. Of course I've read comments, but they look like being old
and are not useful any more that's why I read code further and found that there
are no other possibilities beside lcrypto to be in SSL_LIBS. Thus what above
code actually does is - remove lcrypto and then adds lcrypto from SSL_LIBS (and
together with that requires another configure option) with no gain. So the
question is what other libraries beside libcrypto could be inside $SSL_LIBS and
how it's possible? Also wireshark code itself does not depend on crypto library
so again why do you need this check?
