I was just looking into that, but it seems like it'd be a mess.

I have a modern openssl installation from MacPorts, but if
I try to select that I am going to end up compiling with
-I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib, which exposes all of the
metric buttload of stuff that MacPorts tends to pull in.  sifaka
is intended to test in a reasonably-default macOS environment,
and that would be far from it.

Plausible alternatives include:

1. Hand-built private copy of openssl.  longfin is set up that way,
but I'm not really eager to duplicate that approach, especially if
we want to test cutting-edge openssl.

2. Run a second BF animal that's intentionally pointed at the MacPorts
environment, in hopes of testing what MacPorts users would see.

#2 feels like it might not be a waste of cycles, and certainly that
machine is underworked at the moment.  Thoughts?
