How do I pass on openssl lib/include configuration information for base ?

[T.J. Yang]

1. Again, there is no configure option for openssl lib/inlcude as shown 
below
for gnustep-base-1.10.0.

<snip>
Optional Packages:
 --with-PACKAGE[=ARG]    use PACKAGE [ARG=yes]
 --without-PACKAGE       do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no)
 --with-ffi-include=PATH include path for ffi (ffcall/libffi) headers
 --with-ffi-library=PATH library path for ffi (ffcall/libffi) libraries
 --with-xml-prefix=PFX    Prefix where libxml is installed (optional)
 --with-gmp-include=PATH  include path for gmp headers
 --with-gmp-library=PATH  library path for gmp libraries
 --with-libiconv-library=PATH  library path for libiconv libraries

2. I tried to pass on these informatoin  by borrowing existing configure 
option.

root> head /opt/build/gnustep-base-1.10.0/config.log
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.57.  Invocation command line was

 $ ./configure CC=gcc CFLAGS=-O2 -mcpu=v8 
LDFLAGS=-R/opt/TWWfsw/libxml242/lib:/opt/TWWfsw/gcc332r: 
--prefix=/opt/TWWfsw/GNUstep --with-libiconv-library=/opt/TWWfsw/libiconv16 
-L/opt/TWWfsw/libopenssl097/lib --with-xml-prefix=/opt/TWWfsw/libxml242 
-I/opt/TWWfsw/libopenssl097/include --disable-xmltest

I think the configure script generated by configure.ac has room
for improvement.  Too bad I am weak on the autoconf stuff.


Again, thanks for your pointer.
