Story for libssl and ICU on Linux about bflat HOT 2 CLOSED

I've statically compiled ICU into lbrycrd for several years. Maybe you can get a clue on that here:
https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd/blob/master/depends/packages/icu.mk

Same story for openssl:
https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd/blob/v19_master/depends/packages/openssl.mk

The boost file there shows the linking attributes. Namely:

$(package)_ldflags_mingw32=-lsicuio -lsicuuc -lsicudt
$(package)_ldflags_linux=-licuio -licuuc -licudata -licui18n
$(package)_ldflags_darwin=-licuio -licuuc -licudata -licui18n

from bflat.

I'll leave this as-is. Hardcoding libssl comes with drawbacks - each distro configures libssl differently and this would be a pain to e.g. have working certificate paths for https.
