Build System: Debian Jessie

Reproduce by installing all required dependencies listed in INSTALL.md and then running 'cmake ' in a clean Jessie environment (ideally fresh debootstrap).

pkg-config should not be installed. The dependency on pkg-config (in Debian at least) is not mentioned in INSTALL.md.

When CMake fails due to missing pkg-config it is not clear that pkg-config is the problem. The CMakeError.log indicates that ld couldn't find -lexecinfo which is misleading since that error is still reported in a successful invocation of cmake. The stdout messages are also confusing since they focus on libopenssl. pkg-config is correctly reported as missing by find_package() but so are optional pacakges.

Note that the FindOpenSSL.cmake module calls the FindPkgConfig.cmake module.

To clarify, pkg-config should not be installed to reproduce the error messages shown above. The bug is that INSTALL.md does not list pkg-config as a requirement for unix.

The fix could be as simple as adding pkg-config as a listed requirement in INSTALL.md.
