Comment:

 I think we need a different fix here.  Look at how we're calling
 TOR_SEARCH_LIBRARY: there are two problems.

 The first problem is that we are detecting OpenSSL by looking for
 RAND_add().  That was once okay, but now that we require OpenSSL 1.0.1, we
 should look for a function that was introduced in OpenSSL 1.0.1.  We
 should probably make sure that it's something that libressl also has, if
 possible.

 (We could probably get away with looking for a function that was
 introduced in 1.0.0, since we're trying to avoid 0.9.8 in particular.)

 The second problem is that our search path doesn't include /usr/local/opt/
 and /usr/local/opt/openssl/.  But we could fix that just by adding them.
