openoffice-2 & openssl-beta-0.9.8a

[Benjamin Thelen]

Hello Mike,

thanks for your response!

I suppose you're using the ports openssl instead of the base system. Thus
your solution is definitely a good way as far as I can see, but I would
like to keep the base system openssl if possible.

Best,
Ben
