I did not need to manually change anything for Evolution to compile with
SSL enabled -- this is enabled by default in GARNOME Kenny, if the libs
are found. See CONFIGURE_ARGS in evolution/Makefile.

If the libs are missing, Evo will build without SSL support nonetheless,
not aborting. A short warning and a summary is all you get.

All you need to do is installing the necessary Mozilla devel libraries:
libnss3-devel and libnspr4-devel on my system. Alternatively, you will
need to build bootstrap/mozilla.

Nope. Evolution needs the Mozilla SSL libraries, OpenSSL won't do AFAIK.

Yeah, something like "not found" and a summary... ;)
