Nope. Not true. Try it. It's _before_ the directories added by 
--with-openssl. This is a Bad Thing. Blindly including unnecessary 
directories in -I/-L/-R is a Bad Thing. If there is some _technical_ reason 
for this, please let me know. Otherwise, I will continue to maintain that 
this is broken behaviour.
