[issue15052] Outdated comments in build_ssl.py

[Jeremy Kloth]

Jeremy Kloth <jeremy.kloth+python-tracker at gmail.com> added the comment:

OK, I have discovered my issue(s) building OpenSSL.  When I first downloaded the openssl-1.0.1c external, the timestamps for the .asm files ended up being older than their corresponding .pl sources therefore triggering the rules in the makefile.

I then decided to fix those Perl related issues by installing ActivePerl but *without* having it added to my PATH (as build_ssl.py finds it in the default location).  This causes build_ssl.py to no longer use the generated .asm files as a Perl executable has been found (line 221).

The attached patch ensures that the Perl executable is actually runnable.
