+Subject: [PATCH] Get back to using pkg-config to check for OpenSSL
+
+Commit 6300dfec7 removed the option to disable SSL support from the
+configure script since it became a requirement, but it also removed the
+use of pkg-config for finding the OpenSSL library and its dependencies.
+
+This had the unfortunate consequence of breaking the correct detection
+of library flags in many static linking scenarios. In some cases, for
+example, OpenSSL might have been built with zlib, which requires `-lz`
+to be passed to the linker when doing a static link of the irssi
+executable. Thus, pkg-config becomes an invaluable tool in such
+situations, since no guessing work is needed as the OpenSSL .pc file
+provides all the necessary flags.
+
+So, this patch re-inserts the PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro in the configure
+script when looking for OpenSSL. The test using AC_CHECK_LIB remains,
+but only as a last resort in case the one using pkg-config fails.
+
+Also, because the macro AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 contains an unconditional call
+to PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG, the OpenSSL checks are moved so that they come
+after the Glib ones in order to avoid doubly checking for the pkg-config
+binary (PKG_CHECK_MODULES skips that check if it has been performed
+before, but PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG does not).
