On Lion, in /usr/lib, I have libssl.0.9.7.dylib, libssl.0.9.8.dylib, and a libssl.dylib symlink.

I have no /usr/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib in that folder.

I am new to OSx and brew. Could you please elaborate on what action should I take? Thanks for looking into it.

I'm not sure what to suggest, or why you have a different copy of that file.
Have you installed any software that required a password via a .PKG that possibly wrote files here?

These are the ssl files and linkages on my 10.7.5 box; if you have different files here then you'll probably have to clean them out. Of course messing with /usr/lib can cause the system to be unstable.

$ ls -la /usr/lib/libssl*

You will likely also need to remove some or all of the "unexpected" files that brew doctor is detecting as well.
