I started to figure this out by looking at the Makefile (see bottom) but a
diff of the two says they are different even though they are both from the
openssl-0.9.7a_2 distribution.

devil# diff /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.3 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.2
Binary files /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.3 and /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.2
differ

devil# ls -l /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.3 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.2
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  1136871 Apr 15 17:13 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.2
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  1136935 Apr 15 17:31
/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.3

OK, so if this is just a naming thing, then why does modssl require the
shared library be version 3? So why does the SHLIBVER become 3 if
installed in /usr/local and remain 2 if overwritebase is defined?

Is there a reason modssl wants it's own distribution of openssl?
