Hi. Thanks for the recent openvpn-2.2.2 version bump. Were it to be subjected to testing with a view to stabilisation, that would be splendid! However, would you be so kind as to entertain the following change prior?

Building with SSL is the common case and, therefore, I think that the "ssl" flag should be set as a pkginternal default.

While a majority of users will have ssl defined as a global flag, not everyone does (including myself). For a more detailed rationale, please see my comment here:-

As noted there, I dont think pkginternal flags should be employed lightly. Nevertheless, I think it is merited in this instance.

Sounds reasonable; done.

I'll submit it for stabilization in 30 days, as per the usual procedure.
