But I'd like to stress out that having OpenSSL singled out in build process just because that used to be this way is not the cleanest design of this configuration feature.
It wouldn't be "singled out". It would be first in a list sorted in a prio order.
We can make better by treating all ssl libs in the same way.
The SSL libs aren't identical nor do I view their status within libcurl as identical so I don't see why we'd need to pretend they're all equal.
In your proposition how would one build curl with NSS support; --without-openssl and --with-nss ?
I'd prefer to have --with-nss take precedence over no option at all so thus ./configure --with-nss would pick NSS ./configure --with-gnutls would pick GnuTLS ./configure --with-ssl would scan over all known libs and pick the first that works ... etc -- / daniel.haxx.se
