Actually this is speaking to two different issues.

Nginx is indeed one of the easiest programs to compile, very light and fast to build.

Building the newest openssl from scratch for centos into an rpm is quite a workout. I had to read two guides and still had to play with it a bit to get everything just right. Oh and pro-tip from a big "duh" moment - don't try to remove old openssl on a SSH connection. It doesn't just run from memory, when it goes away, so does your connection to the server.

I really wish there was an openssl cookbook that upgraded openssl to 1.0.1 on centos. Seems like something someone can automate.
