No, a nice thing about this port is that it's self contained (the only
two optional depends, for TLS, are p5-IO-Socket-SSL and p5-Crypt-SSLeay).

The port is at the latest version (released in 2009, hmmmm).
Since perl 5.14 is not the default, I marked it broken for now and
ping upstream to see if there's still any active development.
I don't intend to maintain this as a fork ; anyone wanting to take over
maintainership has just to ping me.

Any way to detect this at build time? We could od a run on pointy if
that's the case, and at least have a list of problems.
