I forwarded this to a local user who's been dealing with the same
issue. His comments:

"""
Actually I think he missed the the -I argument that gets passed to swig,
since the .i file has an include directive for one of the openssl
headers.  Either the build has changed since the 0.15 release so that
this is no longer required or he didn't realize that this was necessary
because he has an openssl in /usr, just not the version he's trying to
build against.

What's your response to that?
