Please try the following:
- make a copy of openssl.pc (the pkg-config file of OpenSSL) into your wget 
directory.
- change the first line 'prefix=...' to 'prefix=/usr/local/ssl'
- try 'PKG_CONFIG_PATH="." ./configure --with-ssl=openssl'

Later, you may keep your openssl.pc in /usr/local/pkgconfig/, so you can 
easily find and use it with other projects.

Please report if this (or similar) works for you.
Of course that has to documented... we simply didn't fall over this issue so 
far.
