[cmake-developers] FindOpenSSL binaries

[Harry Mallon]

Hello,

1. We use the openssl binary for encrypting things in a cmake step. It would be nice if FindOpenSSL could find the binary "openssl" as well as the includes and libs, so we can use the same versions as we link easily. Maybe something like the below would do:

...

# ``OPENSSL_EXECUTABLE ``
#   The openssl binary.

...

find_path(OPENSSL_EXECUTABLE
  NAMES
    openssl
  ${_OPENSSL_ROOT_HINTS_AND_PATHS}
  PATH_SUFFIXES
    bin
)

...

2. Should "OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR" be "OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIRS" or is that not a hard-and-fast rule?

Thanks,
Harry
