To expand on this, make sure your application has the 'ssl' application 
in its `{application, [...]}' tuple in its .app (or .app.src) file. This 
will let relx know to pull it into the final release properly.

Another alternative is to jut put the 'ssl' app in the relx 
configuration, but this is a weaker form of it: while it will pull the 
app properly into the release, it won't ensure it is booted before your 
app does; the .app data is what conveys that information.
