You want  --with-ssl=openssl

This was the default in older versions, now no longer.
And in general they seem to want to steer away the users from openssl  
to gnutls and in order to do that the configure script doesn't even  
mention this option any longer.  :-(

And in the same vein the option --with-libssl-prefix has completely  
disappeared, which used to be helpful when you had your preferred ssl  
library in a non-standard place. Now you have to trick around with  
compiler options to achieve that.
