Understandable misunderstanding :-)

ssl decryption has nothing to do with openssl: The gnutls lib is needed
by the ssl-dissector. So when the lib is missing,  the ssl dissector
won't have the decryption code compiled in.
Openssl is needed in two places: 1) snmp oid decoding 2) kerberos decoding
when building against MIT Kerberos).

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
