Actually, it would just break. There is currently no way to distinguish
between no-SSL and not-OpenSSL, so ODBC would use PQgetssl() to
determine the SSL status, get NULL and assume there is no SSL active,
and subsequently break when trying to communicate via the sockets.

Frankly I think that this "solution" doesn't meet the usual high
standards of this project...

Have a nice day,
