That's not until after November. Why don't we 1) check for openssl, to
see if we need the package, 2) check for rsa.h, and if not present,
stop and warn the user to rebuild openssl with PATENDEDSSLSRC set.

It's bogus to install the openssl package on current systems. After
rsa comes into the tree, it'll still "just work" with two checks, and
after a time we can garbage collect the check for rsa.h.
