We don't want to and WE DON'T DO.

binary installation:
- before: user needs to install openssl port
- now:    user needs to install openssl package

make world:
- before: user needs to install openssl port
- now:    openssl is built as part of the world

This thread suffers from people yelling objection without even
understanding the situation.

There are a few teething problems which are blown up way out of
proportion:

- Some people outside the US get their crypto source from a US
  mirror. They shouldn't do this in the first place. In the presence
  of USA_RESIDENT=NO, OpenSSL than proceeds to build without RSA.

- Apparently, there currently is a bug where bsd.port.mk fails to
  recognize that the RSA-enabled package hasn't been installed.
  I'm sure this can easily be fixed, but tying up Kris in endless
  discussions here won't accelerate the process.
