I should mention that the obvious suggestion of "You need to link your 
framework against OpenSSL" is not what I'm looking for.

If I link my framework statically against OpenSSL, then I force the clients of 
my framework to use that static version of OpenSSL, which I don't want.

If I link my framework dynamically against OpenSSL, then I force the clients of 
my framework to use the dynamic version of OpenSSL, which I also don't want.

(correct me if I'm wrong on either of those points)
