--with-PACKAGE is the correct one, where "PACKAGE" should be replaced
with "openssl" (so, adding the path was incorrect information on my
part).

It should, yes.

Kinda. In the Bad Old Days nobody wanted to hand strong cryptography
to the Soviets. The easiest way was classifying crypto as weapons,

Though the folk I have met,
(Ah, how soon!) they forget
When I've moved on to some other place,
There may be one or two,
When I've played and passed through,
Who'll remember my song or my face.
