Yes. The PHP configure script could try to link a test program with libcurl
if --with-curl is specified and if it fails, it could retry the same with the
SSL libs specified.

This is done with AC_TRY_LINK() and really is quite easy.

I would probably volounteer to write that piece should it be decided to be a
good add-on.

As was suggested by venaas_at_php.net in your bug report, it can also be fixed
by using --with-openssl.
