Tom, this is a bit unusual. Shouldn't we normally expect configure
to find the libraries when the environment variable LIBS is set to
"-L/path_to/ssl/lib" and CPPFLAGS is set to "-I/path_to/ssl/include",
where path_to is the path to the parent directory for ssl. I haven't
tried to compile the SSL lynx binary, but this syntax for interacting
with configure generally works for other libraries not in the usual
place.
