           Summary: security/openvpn fails to build with enable-async-push
                    set

OpenVPN 2.6.19 fails to build in Poudriere when enable-async-push is set. The
corresponding part of the log is:

[00:00:42] checking for OPTIONAL_INOTIFY... no
[00:00:42] configure: error: Package requirements (libinotify) were not met:
[00:00:42] 
[00:00:42] Package 'libinotify' not found
[00:00:42] 
[00:00:42] Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
[00:00:42] installed software in a non-standard prefix.
[00:00:42] 
[00:00:42] Alternatively, you may set the environment variables
OPTIONAL_INOTIFY_CFLAGS
[00:00:42] and OPTIONAL_INOTIFY_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
[00:00:42] See the pkg-config man page for more details.
[00:00:42] ===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.

I can see OpenVPN doesn't depend on devel/libinotify and I don't remember
whether older versions (I have currently 2.6.16 successfully built) did.
