So the issue here is that if openssl is built incorrectly, then the SSL test in python.yaml fails (`$ARTIFACT/bin/python -c "import _ssl"`). We need the SSL support for HTTPS in Python, and maybe for other things like pycrypto. It's a standard module, so we need to be able to build it. So we either need to build it ourselves, or reuse the systemwide library, but unfortunately on many systems, Python simply can't pick the systemwide library up and so we are screwed.

As such, we can try to optionally use the systemwide library and use our own openssl if it does not work.

Question: Can you post the problems with openssl build on a system without some certificates? I never encountered such a problem.
