[snip would-be-nice patch moving USE_OPENSSL after the OPTIONS processing]

Yes, this was indeed the main problem I had with OPTIONS'ifying the curl
port - the fact that USE_OPENSSL cannot be reconciled with the options
handling framework, simply because it needs to be defined before including
bsd.port.pre.mk.  Your patch is good, and it would really be nice if it
could be applied, but unfortunately, it is not possible for the present :)

And to Andrew - as noted above, unfortunately, for the present it is not
possible to only use OpenSSL if WITH_GNUTLS is *not* specified, simply
because the USE_OPENSSL processing is done before any options processing,
and it has to be that way :(

G'luck,
Peter
