SSL enabled => requires libcrypto & libssl. The only "SSL enabled" part of
curl is the libcurl.

Yes, because you don't enable or disable SSL in the curl tool, only in the
libcurl library.

You can try this yourself. (Using shared libraries) Build one curl with SSL
disabled and one curl with SSL enabled. Then copy the "disabled" curl tool to
the src-directory where you build the "enabled" curl. They should both be the
exact same size and they should both work exactly the same.
