ssl module doesn't build correctly in R8B-0 (or R7B-3)

[Michael Roszkowski]

I had been trying to use the ssl module in R8B-0 on RedHat Linux
machines (both RH7.0 and 7.1 with OpenSSL) and couldn't get it to work.
I noticed the same behavior on a NetBSD 1.5.1 machine. I also
tried it on an R7B-3 installation and it failed there, too. All of them
use OpenSSL. I'm not sure what other platforms might be affected.

ssl:start() complains that
   exec: /usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/ssl-2.3.3/priv/bin/ssl_esock: not
found

Looking over the installed code, ssl_esock is, indeed, not there.
It looks like the commands to build and install it have been left
out of the Makefile.in in the otp_src_R8B-0/lib/ssl/c_src/ directory.

I've attached the patch that I'm using to get around the problem. (It
assumes that you are running patch -p0 from the ERL_TOP directory.)

Was this just an oversight on the part of the development team
or was it removed for some reason (or did I just somehow mess
up the build on all of these machines)?

Thanks.
