That makes total sense but I never experimented further after seeing the  
"official" PHP response saying you have to do it statically and seeing  
what other Linux distros were doing.

However, this would still exclude cleanroom package building environments  
like poudriere or tinderbox, correct? We're deploying our software to our  
servers with pkgng packages and building with poudriere. I guess if you  
make php5-ftp have a build option for SSL that pulls in php5-openssl as a  
build dependency this might work, right?

I really hope this is a simpler solution than I thought!
