Francois,  are you building your application using bitbake or 
externally?  Are you adding it to your board using an RPM package or 
just coping it there?

If your building it externally and just copying it, all the magic others 
are talking about won't happen.  However you can just add the openssl 
packages to you target.  You can do this by building them and using RPM 
or you can create a custom image/task recipie and add the needed 
packages.  You could even use HOB if you want an easy way to create a 
custom image.

If your building your app in bitbake, then ignore me and continue your 
conversation with Mark.
