  If anyone does "port" curl to use a commercial SSL library, I am of course
  very interested in getting the patch!

configre doesn't find OpenSSL even when it is installed
=======================================================

  Platforms: Solaris (native cc compiler) and HPUX (native cc compiler)

  When configuring curl, I specify --with-ssl. OpenSSL is installed in
  /usr/local/ssl Configure reports SSL in /usr/local/ssl, but fails to find
  CRYPTO_lock in -lcrypto 

  Cause: The cc for this test places the -L/usr/local/ssl/lib AFTER -lcrypto,
  so ld can't find the library. This is due to a bug in the GNU autoconf tool.

  Workaround: Specifying "LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib" in front of ./configure
  places the -L/usr/local/ssl/lib early enough in the command line to make
  things work
