>Description:
	portinstall for libssh only installs a shared version of the library
	but having a static version of the library is often extremely helpful,
	e.g. for faster speed and/or to help debug mysterious or semi-mysterious
	run-time problms/issue with programs using the library.

	(Note that the version of libssh that's installed in /usr/lib by
	default _does_ include a static version of the library.)

>How-To-Repeat:
	su root; portinstall libssh

>Fix:
	Sorry, I don't know how to fix this because libssh apparently uses
	some imponderable think called "cmake" which is entirely foreign
	to me.
