You are right, except git HEAD already comes with a Makefile (rather than a Makefile.in), so I just ran it while testing out patches. I introduced the test because I thought the computer could find out about libssl for me, rather than myself having to forget to specify NO_OPENSSL every time. I agree that this should be (also) in configure.ac; the question is more whether we *could* also add it to the Makefile to make from-source compilations easier. On the other hand, I wonder: if the mozilla/sha.h implementation is in the tree anyway, why even bother with libssl? The SHA implementation is unlikely to be changed anytime soon, so the extra library dependency seems overkill just for the SHA hash functionality.
