I built the post AFTER I had added that notation to my /etc/make.conf
file; however, I really don't see why it would make a difference in
what order you did it in. I never recompiled any of the existing ports
since they worked fine with the older version. In the goodness of time,
as they were updated, that changeover occurred. I needed the newer
version of openssl primarily for one application, but doing a forced
rebuild of all existing applications that use openssl would certainly
not hurt anything, except if you find one that won't compile. I
originally found 5 of them, but by contacting the maintainers, the
problems were rectified.

As a side note, I don't understand why the base system hasn't been
updated. It would certainly help to eliminate problems like this.
