Agreed that it should be a decision by portmgr, as I already commented
on Bug 257659.

Thanks for the fix! Confirmed OK without installing 3 *.pc files.

But as I commented on Bug 257659 and Bug 262569, if CONFIGURE_ENV= 
part of your fix is generic enough, it would be better set on
Mk/Uses/ssl.mk to avoid this kind of disaster.
