No. Installing and running (Open)SSH is nothing less than science. The
reward is security. It must be about 1000 pages on SSH I recently read
;)

Install you new OpenSSL in /usr/local/OpenSSL_0.9.7b.

Then link OpenSSH to OpenSSL. Try
./configure --help. There is one or more lines about how to set the path
to your new OpenSSL libraries.

That config option will work:

--with-ssl-dir=PATH Specify path to OpenSSL installation

Set the path to those libraries or include files. I don't know ad hoc.
Maybe its even OpenSSL's root. Just try it, the script will complain if
the path is wrong.
