<br>
I build CMake myself.  I've noticed that on GNU/Linux by default cmake<br>
will be linked with openssl and require these shared libraries to be<br>
available at runtime.<br>
<br>
Why does cmake link with these libraries?  I can't think of a reason it<br>
might need them.  What do I lose in functionality if I force<br>
CMAKE_USE_OPENSSL to OFF during the build?<br>
