OpenSSL protects the symbols in the shared object via a linker
script, but programs and tests need those protected symbols, so
they either must link against the archive, or I need to expose the
symbols. For now, I chose to expose the symbols. Note that we
cannot use -Bstatic -Lpath -llibrary -Bdynamic because this seems
to be broken with collect2 and so we use the path directly.

For at least 20 years, the setting of .PREFIX in make
has not matched the documentation.
Since the documented behavior does not match reality or
POSIX make, fix the documentation.
In FindDepsRegularPath str_basename is applied to .PREFIX
this is wrong, but I was unable to verify fixing it
was benign in NetBSD build - my NetBSD box (7.2)
was unable to build known-good src with or without any patches.
For now just document the behavior more accurately.
