Should be corrected by patches 1 and 3 by Junio C Hamano.
I had just not understood meaning of NEEDS_SSL_WITH_CRYPTO 
variable.

Not adressed.

Check if patch 2 corrects this error. Patch 5 does the same as patch 2 
for NEEDS_SOCKET due to cleanup during making this change.

Patch 4 adresses this. Perhas one of the checks can be dropped (leaving 
easier or faster one).

Patch 5 tries to address this. Additionally it can be easily seen what 
was detested... but it is somewhat harder to see which variables are 
set among unset ones.
