Bug 283204: mail/thunderbird: LIB_DEPENDS on botan2 which is deprecated
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=283204



--- Description ---
botan3 is available as a port, but I have no idea how different it is from
botan2.  Also, trying to decipher the workings of the "--with-system-botan"
configuration option leave me completely at sea about whether ANY botan code is
getting invoked by thunderbird, or when.  (To begin with, I don't know what
botan does!)
