IIUC this will cause license compatibility problems for some apps using
libcurl. OpenSSL is not GPL compatible unless the app has declared an exception
for OpenSSL, so if libcurl uses OpenSSL instead of NSS, AFAICT, GPL apps won't
be able to use it. This would prevent mingw32-libvirt using it for example. In
addition this is causing mingw32-curl to deviate from native curl which is
something we want to avoid with Mingw32. IMHO this package needs to be made to
use mingw32-nss before approval
