Just curious: does this package really needs OpenSSL only when IPv6
support is available? At first sight, I don't quite see why SSL support
and IPv6 support would be related, but maybe I'm missing something?

At least, this unusual select should carry a comment above it that
explains why it is needed.

Thanks!
