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.

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

Sensible defaults are key. What you are proposing is the way that I would expect a well thought-out configure script to work.
