+# Try to find the OpenSSL encryption library

+#   OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR - Set this variable to the root installation of OpenSSL
+#
+#
+#
+# Read-Only variables:
+#
+# ::
+#
+#   OPENSSL_FOUND - system has the OpenSSL library
+#   OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR - the OpenSSL include directory
+#   OPENSSL_LIBRARIES - The libraries needed to use OpenSSL
+#   OPENSSL_VERSION - This is set to $major.$minor.$revision$path (eg. 0.9.8s)
