[ndnSIM] Using openssl with ndnSIM

[Alex Afanasyev]

Hi Cesar,

In waf, adding external dependencies is a little bit simpler, though not as obvious. 
I pushed a small change to ndnSIM repo to the feature/with-openssl branch, which added a dependency (necessary compiler and linker flags) for ndnSIM.

Can you try this branch?
