That means, we get an installation with libraries compiled against OpenSSL 
(the test in my code for SSL support succeeds) with the libraries they were 
compiled against. The end result is, that the application crashes and the user 
will blame the app not knowing, that it is acrippled installation. That seems 
very logical to me. >:-(
