Hmmmm....  I had not /usr/lib/ssl until I installed libssl-dev, so it 
must put some files in there.

Saw these now, don't know if they were there earlier.

Yes!  It works just fine.  I had tried /usr/lib/ssl and /usr/lib without 
luck, but finally it works with this.

For some reason it isn't working on my system (running Sid).  Tried it 
several times and got the same error (no ssl libs).

Thanks -- I can get ./configure working now.  Some problems with make, 
but I don't have time to look deeper into that now.  It'll have to wait 
until later today.
