So... Mac OS X removed the possibility to use the SSL part of OpenSSL
project but they still say that the library is present and working?
Looks like a bug to me.

I think the "solution" would be to do a more accurate check (check
that a small SSL_read test can be compiled and linked correctly
including the openssl/ssl.h header).
The mail suggest to use a different library. Not that easy to do. Is
anyway GnuTLS an option (is it installed by default in Mac OS X) ?
