If you build the openssl package from source, it builds a libssl-dev
package that you can install on your system.  Do something like:

mkdir -p /tmp/tmp && cd /tmp/tmp
apt-get source openssl
sudo ./openssl-0.9.7d/debian/rules binary
sudo dpkg -i libssl-dev_0.9.7d-3ubuntu0.1_i386.deb

then you should be able to build past the openssl part.  Presumably
you'll have to do something similar for libcurl, but I haven't tried it.
