get working on Ubuntu xenial out of the box

Is poco-1.7.7 a hard requirement? Most of the other dependencies we can get through apt.
Which version is available through apt? I don't have a preference as long it works
On xenial we get:
$ apt-cache madison libpoco-dev
libpoco-dev | 1.3.6p1-5.1build1 | http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
poco | 1.3.6p1-5.1build1 | http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe Sources
When I first tried to compile the tree a few days ago I naively just installed this version but the build failed. I can spend a little time to see if this is just files have since been renamed and that the API that we require is available through the packaged version. If it is, I would say use the packaged version as it simplifies builds (for us) and other clients.
I would suggest we first see if POCO supports ssl out of the box
If not, it probably will be dropped in the near future with something that does. As far as I'm aware uWS does, although it isn't sync
