I disagree, this m4 and others like it standardize the use of thee libraries
outside of system installations.  For example if one wanted to test against
a source tree of openssl.  If every project implemented "–with-openssl"
there may be differences in the implementation and/or spelling that would
cause users having to re-learn how to ./configure for a given project.

I think it's important to standardize the way openssl is found and activated
across most projects.
