-configure: re-order SSL libs when linking
-
-When doing static builds, the ordering of libs is important, as the
-linker does not back-pedal to previous libraries specified on the
-command line to find missing symbols, and only searches for those
-missing symbols in the following libs.
-
-Thus, as -lssl needs symbols from -lcrypto, it needs to come before
--lcrypto.
-
-And globally, we do *not* append new libraries, we prepend them.
