 Cf. PR 149361
 
 When this came up before, it looked like nettle 2.1 is incompatible with
 the current versions of rdup and pike78.  Since there were no other
 ports that depended on nettle, we have been waiting for the upstream
 authors to update their software to use the newer version.
 
 But now, since there is apparently a third port depending on nettle --
 and one that will probably be used more often! --  we'll have to take
 another look at rdup and pike78, to see if they can use nettle 2.1.
 
 It might be necessary to create seperate ports for nettle20 and
 nettle21.
