Unfortunately this is not possible in the OpenWrt buildroot at the
moment. There is no provides or alternatives mechanism therfore it is
not possible to depend on multiple candidates.

Making openvpn-polarssl condidtionally dependant on its own symbol would
introduce a recursive dependency which might break menuconfig.

The only way I see is to not depend on any specific OpenVPN
implementation but to simply print an error in the ui if no openvpn
executable is found on the system.
