That sounds crazy so I took a look.  BioConductor just had a 3.3 release
(matching the R release cycle) and they seemingly simplified it a lot.
Compare these two:

https://github.com/Bioconductor-mirror/rtracklayer/blob/release-3.2/configure.ac

https://github.com/Bioconductor-mirror/rtracklayer/blob/release-3.3/configure.ac

I did not look too closely at the older one but the newer does check for
OpenSSL present or not __and then uses this in src/Makevars.in__ so if it
were me I consider switching to this.  Or rather, I take the 'self-directory'
test out in 3.2.
