I'm not an autoconf expert, but as said in the original mail, I could
get the SSL_library_init check to work, even if that's a macro now:
> - AC_CHECK_LIB(ssl, SSL_library_init, [], [AC_MSG_ERROR([library 'ssl' is required for OpenSSL])])
> + AC_CHECK_LIB([ssl], [SSL_library_init])
(I haven't investigated if that's due to the quoting, the removal of
the extra arguments, or simply because I reran autoreconf.)

Nod, I was also disappointed when browsing the API changes document,
given it didn't mention any of the problems I was seeing.
