Perhaps, but it is kind of nice to get that information from the program
itself at the same time you get the version information.  For example:
# ssh -V
OpenSSH_3.7p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0.9.7b 10 Apr 2003

All the information, from one place.

I think that "GNU Wget <something>" should always stand for Wget's
version, regardless of the libraries it has been compiled with.  But
if you want to see the version of libraries, why not make it clearer,
e.g.:

    GNU Wget x.x.x (compiled with OpenSSL x.x.x)

BTW can't you find out OpenSSL version by using `ldd'?
