# I use the source-installed OpenSSL which is installed under
# /usr/local/ssl. If yours is installed under the /usr prefix, which is
# probably the case if it was installed from a binary package, you can
# probably just leave off the =/usr/local/ssl part of the --with-ssl configure
# flag, and the whole CPPFLAGS part (just run 'make').
