Does Second Life use OpenSSL directly, or is it only used for curl? If
it's the latter, it looks like we can just compile curl against GNU
TLS instead.

(Hmmm... interesting thought. If you dynamically link a GPLed program
against the GNU TLS version of libcurl, then someone else runs it
using a libcurl that's compiled with OpenSSL, are they infringing the
GPL?)
