I think a longer term plan might be for it to also hold the common
logic for choosing between different SSL implementations where
packages support that - something along an SSL_SUPPORTED=

On the other hand you could argue that _that_ would go into an
ssl.buildlink3.mk and any package which only supports openssl just
uses openssl.buildlink3.mk, which I'm happy with

So... anyone have any objections to me making it openssl.buildlink3.mk instead?
