Yes. That is exactly what Python already does, the _ssl module isn't
built if the headers are missing.

That sounds reasonable. I *think* OpenSSL is also a requirement for OpenID, so they'd lose that as well.

So exactly what error happens when you try to install sagenb on a system with the headers? I assume we need to work around that, and then just check `import ssl` when we try to turn on OpenID or something else that requires ssl.
