This usually leads to some warnings during the build stage and obviously various ssl-based tests don't work, but I can still get other stuff done. But with the latest repo, "make install" refuses to complete -- it ends fatally as follows:

So right now pip doesn’t work without TLS, we’re working on that and our 1.6 release
should have that. I *thought* that Nick (I think?) had made it so that you just didn’t get pip
if you didn’t have TLS enabled, but apparently not.

You can suppress this by doing ``ENSUREPIP=no make install``, but probably this should
just print a warning instead of dying when TLS isn’t available.
