Because it is mauvais ton to use binaries instead of normal packages
(like apt-get in debian, pacman in arch, and others).
Plus that link was borken and according to [1] OpenSSL do not ship
binaries officially.
And personally I don't think that this is not obvious that you need
openssl libraries to build libevent with it's support, and BTW you need
headers too (of course).

(cherry picked from commit 62866f98a5979e3b9ee8db0287be79749fcf7d6a)
This patchset adds next missing things (in compare to autotools):
- pkgconfig
- event_pthreads/event_openssl
- compile shared/static libraries always
And some fixes, because it will not build after fixing other things:
- export missing symbols for cmake (-fvisibility=hidden)
* cmake-missing-bits:
cmake: support visibility for AppleClang too
cmake: fix export absolute path and relative path and cleanup a bit
cmake: generate and install pkgconfig files
cmake: build SHARED and STATIC libraries (like autoconf does)
cmake: add missing event_openssl/event_pthreads libraries
Export symbols for -fvisibility=hidden (under cmake)

It did not work before correctly anyway, since cmake do not reset cache
entries by default, so that reset to "beta" didn't work.
But I don't think that making this variable cached is useful, so let's
remove this.
