Thanks for this new iteration!

The "in openssl" part of each help text is not really useful, as these
are suboptions of libopenssl already.

This line is too long, "make check-package" most likely complains about
this.

Is it really useful to make IPv6 optional? Is that necessary for your
certification? IPv6 used to be optional in Buildroot in general, and we
got rid of that several years ago, so reintroducing IPv6 options will
really need some good jusitification.

So you dropped the zlib option? Why?
