Description

The configure script offers a --with-openssl option:

  --with-openssl=DIR      root of the OpenSSL directory

Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to be respected by the C++ build. (There is one nested reference to AX_CHECK_OPENSSL within part of the D language configuration.)

--with-openssl is useful when building Thrift on OS X because the base system's SSL libraries are insufficient. See THRIFT-2515.
