We need to have an OpenSSL because illumos requires one.  We *could* do the SmartOS thing and keep our own SUNW/OMNI*...() api set, though.

I would personally like to see LibreSSL either in OmniOS itself or the
possibility to use it in my own application stack (eg. the SmartOS route
of changing the symbol names of the OS-shipped TLS library to avoid
conflicts).
