Sorry, it turns out SSL does configure. (Yes, I have OpenSSL.)

What I had trouble with is JPEG and TIFF support.  I have the JPEG
group's runtime library (/usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0.0), and TIFF
libraries (/usr/lib/libtiff.so.4.1.4, /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4) .  But
"configure" outputs:

[...]
checking for jpeglib.h... no
checking for jpeg_destroy_decompress in -ljpeg... no
checking for tiffio.h... no
checking for TIFFClientOpen in -ltiff... no
[...]
Configuration results:

GPM support:            NO
SSL support:            YES
Javascript enabled:     YES
Regular expressions:    LIBC
Graphics enabled:       YES
Graphics drivers:       X
Image formats:          GIF PNG XBM
xterm for OS/2 support: NO

The comiled binary does not display JPEG or TIFF images.  PNG images
display fine.
