Hi Alex,


The patch is failing just because of a comment, which is already changed by
another patch

-/* Define to build with OpenSSL support. (--with-ssl=openssl) */

+/* Define to 1 if you have OpenSSL support. */

Do you mind sending an updated patch?

http://cfbot.cputube.org/patch_32_2980.log.

I am changing the status to "Waiting for Author"


In my opinion that change no more requires so I removed that and attached
the patch.
