Nice idea but I think
- it shouldn't be the default behavior
- users should have more control over this process

To resolve these two problems I would suggest adding something like
--try-with-openssl, --try-with-gnutls, --try-with-nss
for the feature you proposed and I would change current --with-ssl to
--with-openssl.
