I do not think enabling openssl by default is a good thing, as it states
now. We use not to ebable extension by default, if it is meant as must be
configured, if there are external dependencies. ext/openssl and openssl are
also not the state of the art from an APIs point of view (diplomatically
said), both in userland and internally. There are some on going work to
provide better interfaces in userland (I can't find it back, but it was
discussed here or on pecl-dev :).
