And Fink is one of those distros that use the system OpenSSL,
by linking with /usr/lib/libssl.dylib rather than ${prefix} :
otool -L /sw/lib/lib*.dylib ->
/usr/lib/libssl.0.9.8.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.8, current
version 0.9.8)
otool -L /opt/local/lib/lib*.dylib ->
/opt/local/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1.0.0)

But using this approach in MacPorts was rejected, as per the
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#ownlibs library policy...
