Specify neither if you want most stuff to be installed in /usr/local and
config files/default cert/keystore in /usr/local/ssl

Specify just --openssldir if you want just config files/default
cert/keystore to go into <openssldir> and everything else in /usr/local

Specify just --prefix if you want most stuff in <prefixdir> and config
files/default cert/keystore in <prefixdir>/ssl.

Specify both if you want config file/default cert/keystore in
<openssldir> and everything else in <prefixdir>.
