* configure option --with-ext now mandates its arguments. So for
instance if you run ./configure --with-ext=openssl,+ then the
openssl library is guaranteed compiled, otherwise the build fails
abnormally.
Note however to always add the ",+" at the end of the argument.
Otherwise nothing but openssl are built. [Feature #13302]
