Good afternoon,

Calling --enable-ssl has the surprising effect of disabling SSL. Even if
autodetect is desired and only --disable-ssl is documented, this
behaviour is unusual.
I fear it may catch other packagers out also.

My thanks to Alexander Wetzel on Gentoo bug #609702 for troubleshooting
and tracing an Asterisk SSL symbol fault back to this... subtlety.

Just a quick patch to make it behave like I expect, on the understanding
that coding style may not be to your liking. I hope it helps?

Regards,
