Build with openssl rather than hcrypto.

There are two reasons that we do this:

	1.  openssl has measures to foil timing attacks on its various
	    algorithms and hcrypto apparently does not, and

	2.  openssl has superior performance as it has hand crafted
	    assembly for many ciphers including AES-NI which uses CPU
	    extensions for speeding up AES on modern amd64 class
	    machines.
