Well, you might want OpenSSL for say the web server on the device, but you don't necessarily need SSL support in the curl you're using on your device to do some misc HTTP downloads. But again, I think the size impact of the SSL support in curl is most likely very limited, so it's probably not very useful to make this configurable.
