[ntp:hackers] OpenSSL directory search order

Folks,
Right now configure looks for the openssl libraries in the following
default order:
/usr/lib /usr/lib/openssl /usr/sfw/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/local/ssl/lib
I'm thinking that there may be Value in inverting the search order.
(Similarly for the OpenSSL header files.)
I'm thinking this because I want to install and test the latest openssl
code on a Solaris box, and it will be easier on me if I can just install
the latest OpenSSL code in /usr/local and run configure with no options.
The point is that if somebody goes to the trouble to install code in
/usr/local they probably want to use it in preference to the stock code.
What do folks think?
