Having looked at the differences between Mozilla NSS and OpenSSL a  
little, I doubt the above is a good idea. Migration from OpenSSL to  
Mozilla NSS is in all likelihood not going to be transparent to  
end-users and will require changes in the configuration. While I agree  
that allowing people an option to choose for Mozilla NSS is good, it  
would be a grievous mistake to break existing installations (using  
OpenSSL) because we like the licensing conditions of Mozilla NSS  
better. So I propose to prefer OpenSSL over Mozilla NSS when both are  
present and '--with-ssl' is used.

Best regards, Arjen
