acinclude.m4 seems to special-case static linking on osx, and
adds -lssl if it thinks that is needed. (I think it was me
who added that code, but I seem to have forgotten about it.. ;-) ).
I'm currently thinking that unconditionally adding the output
of pg_config --libs to LIBS if linking statically might
be a better approach - thoughts?
