[BugDB] mod_ssl assumes SSL_BASE to be /usr/local/ssl if the directory exists (PR#739)

In the file pkg.sslmod/libssl.module there is the following code:

        if [ ".$SSL_BASE" = . ]; then
            if [ -d /usr/local/ssl ]; then
                SSL_BASE="/usr/local/ssl"
            else
                SSL_BASE="SYSTEM"
            fi
        fi

Which makes a rather large assumption that just because you have the directory
/usr/local/ssl your OpenSSL libraries are installed there.  This can throw you
for a loop if you're not expecting it (like I wasn't).
