Update: the AIX buildbot has uncovered a corner case in our handling of the SSL auto-detection in ./configure.

From docs/configure.txt:

My understanding is that in the absence of "--with-ssl=yes", the auto-detect should fall back to no SSL support.

The configure script isn't finding either OpenSSL or Mozilla NSS, and it is failing:

http://buildbot.networkupstools.org/public/nut/builders/AIX-powerpc/builds/206/steps/configure/logs/stdio

(We do explicitly pass "--with-ssl=auto" to configure when "make distcheck-light" calls it a second time, but the configure step needs to successfully complete first.)
