> Lazy load the OpenSSL library directly, through ACE_SSL, into the
> apache-geode library. Currently we lazy load cryptoImpl, which immediately
> loads OpenSSL. The original intent was to avoid having an immediate
> dependency on OpenSSL at a time when its availability was questionable. On
> unix like systems OpenSSL is almost always available since so many other
> components in the OS depend on it. This immediate load dependency will have
> little to no effect on those systems. On some unix like systems the
> experience will improve by not having a runtime dependency on an intermediate
> library, cryptoImpl, that may need special treatments, like LD_LIBRARY_PATH
> or RPATH changes. On Windows, where OpenSSL is an anomaly we can use MSVC's
> lazy loading feature to only load OpenSSL if SSL/TLS is configured. This
> significantly improves the experience on Windows with regards to the location
> of cryptoImpl when using .NET.
