Ok, that bug has been closed as 'not a bug', which makes sense by the technical
background.

Maybe it makes sense to implement Pascal's suggestion (extend the SSL check)
together with a warning to avoid confusion and future PRs until autumn 2018
when 10.4 will be EOL?

Attached is a patch for it. This has been tested with:

- 10.4-RELEASE amd64 with openssl from ports, libressl -> OK (no warning)
- 10.4-RELEASE amd64 with base openssl -> OK (with warning)
- 11.2-RELEASE amd64 with base openssl -> OK (no warning)
