 '''LibreSSL'''

 I'm having trouble getting LibreSSL (2.1.2) to work with tor git on OS X
 10.9.

 Here are the issues I've found and fixed in the configure invocation:

     configure --with-openssl-dir= detects the wrong bin/openssl if
 "$OPENSSL_DIR/bin/openssl" isn't in the path before all other openssl
 executables.
     configure --enable-static-openssl requires
 LDFLAGS="$OPENSSL_DIR/lib":$LDFLAGS to link properly, at least on OS X.

 I'm pretty sure these issues will affect all (non-system/non-standard)
 SSLs.

 Can we make configuring with non-system SSLs easier by prepending
 "$OPENSSL_DIR/bin" and "$OPENSSL_DIR/lib" to the PATH and LDFLAGS
 respectively?

 '''BoringSSL'''

 BoringSSL is even worse - it doesn't even have an openssl executable, only
 builds static libraries, and is a pain to configure correctly under our
 current config scripts.

 I can't seem to stop it finding the system-supplied SSL, even when I
 provide it the BoringSSL directories.

 I get the following warnings when I manually install BoringSSL into
 include/lib/bin dirs, and fake the openssl executable using the bssl
 executable:

 (See #13815)

 (The build issues are another matter and should get their own ticket:
 Untangling our kludgey library detection has been something a bunch of
 people have wanted for a while.)
