We have added support for allegedly-OpenSSL compatible libraries such as 
LibreSSL before, so some tweaks for wolfSSL would seem acceptable. 
However, I doubt we are going to backpatch them, so unless you want to 
take responsibility for that as a packager, it's not really going to 
help anyone soon.  And OpenSSL 3.0.0 will have a new license, so for the 
next PostgreSQL release, this problem might be gone.
