OK, thanks for the latest patch set. USE_OPENSSL is deprecated now, but that
can also be fixed in a future update.

However, we have to ensure the UPDATING entry is right. Based on Markus's
proposal, I would add this to UPDATING:

20160704:
  AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql57-*
  AUTHOR: riggs at FreeBSD.org

  The default location for my.cnf has changed from "/var/db/mysql/my.cnf"
  to "/usr/local/etc/mysql/my.cnf". Existing my.cnf files must be merged
  manually with the new default and move it to the new location. To
  continue using the my.cnf file at the old location, set "mysql_optfile"
  in /etc/rc.conf to point to the location of the existing my.cnf file.

Let me know if this is OK. I have to emphasise the wording "has changed",
because 
mysql57-server/pkg-message stills says "will be changed in the near future". So
either UPDATING or pkg-message would be wrong.
