Curiously enough, FreeBSD, with OpenSSL installed in /usr/include/openssl,
*did* get the socketmodule compiled with SSL support, but without the
necessary -I directive, so the compile failed.

Strangely enough, this problem does not exist on FreeBSD. I can run 'make'
or 'make test' after 'make' just fine. 'make test' still doesn't work
because of the incorrect library path, but it doesn't barf like the other
systems (BSDI and Debian Linux)
