Correct: it's to use google code.

I don't mind the openssl not beeing included by default for license
reasons.  But it would be good if I could (say by setting an
environment variable or in .sagerc file or similar) record my choice
to include openssl *once and for all*, so that whenever I build Sage
it has it in it.
