Yeah - realized that too, seconds after I mailed..
The problem with grepping for -lssl is that AFAIK some
plattforms need more than -lssl (Like -lcrypto). So
if we're going that way, we won't get rid of all that
plattform-specific uglyness in that section.
Maybe removing those libs from the output of pg_config that
we surely don't need or want (like -lpgport) is workable
alternative?
