I knew I could do it using configure, I just liked the solution where
I just have to maintain one list of headers to be installed and linked
better. What I ended up doing was to include a link target like this 

links: $(opensslinclude_HEADERS)
        @$(PERL) $(top_srcdir)/util/mklink.pl \
                $(top_srcdir)/include/openssl/  \
                $(opensslinclude_HEADERS);\
        for i in $(SUBDIRS); do \
            (cd $$i; $(MAKE) links ); \
        done;

in all Makefiles (through a include statement). That way the link will
automatically be generated if someone adds a new header.
