config-scripts/cups-openssl.m4 in the cupsys source package contains the
autoconf macro cupsys uses for this purpose.

With an OpenSSL exclusion clause it would be possible to link cupsys-pt
with OpenSSL which would be the best solution.

Whether you want to try to change cupsys-pt to use GnuTLS or if you prefer
to wait for upstream to include an OpenSSL exclusion clause in his license
is your choice. My bug was a "wishlist" bug and a wish for additional
functionality is something completely different than a "real" bug.
