Interesting, and correct by the sounds of it.

That makes sense; if you specify an alternate SSL directory, then the
standard pkg-config output won't necessarily apply. The "correct"
way to solve this would be not to use the --with-ssl option but instead
set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to your custom SSL installation. That will
make pkg-config give the proper options for your package, which ought to
include a -L flag to point to its nonstandard location plus the -lz flag.
