That's evidently above my pay grade.

I recall recently there was a discussion of building all ports against the 
openssl port. It got lengthy and I stopped reading it. That's what that 
function does. Deprecating that function without forcing use of the openssl 
port was not wise IMMHO, but again, my opinion apparently doesn't matter.
