It wouldn't be "singled out". It would be first in a list sorted in a prio
order.

The SSL libs aren't identical nor do I view their status within libcurl as
identical so I don't see why we'd need to pretend they're all equal.

I'd prefer to have --with-nss take precedence over no option at all so thus

  ./configure --with-nss would pick NSS

  ./configure --with-gnutls would pick GnuTLS

  ./configure --with-ssl would scan over all known libs and pick the first that
    works

   ... etc
