I don't know OS X but on other platforms that kind of error would 
indicate that /usr/local/ssl/lib was not in the run-time link path (ie 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LIBPATH depending on the platform).

If your runtime linker supports "-R" then you can use it too 
("./configure --with-rpath").

No, findssl.sh isn't part of the build process, it's merely a 
supplemental tool to show what OpenSSL versions you have installed. 
(Reports of "your OpenSSL headers do not match your library" errors used 
to be common, and it's to help diagnose those.)

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
