Thanks for finding this! I believe in the KISS philosophy:
"Keep it simple, Sir". The only time I used a
non-system-default port was when the default named was v8
and I used the v9 in ports. Otherwise, FreeBSD has a great
selection of security programs as its default. It may be
that some admins go for the bleeding-edge ports. --Anyway,
I've added the openssl_base=yes to make.conf. I've added
"openssl" to the local/etc/pkgtools.conf to my "HOLD_PKGS"
list. ....
