Hello Richard,

i've had these same
can't-find-libssl-even-though-i'm-staring-right-at-it probelms in dovecot.
after a little poking in code, i note that dovecot check first to get
its ssl lib/include link info from pkg-config, and seems to get
flustered by the presence of your own LDFLAGS/CPPFLAGS specification of
ssl location.
that said, i've managed to work around it fairly simply.
