>Description:
In a recent thread on freebsd-security and freebsd-ports, it turns out that there is a very useful feature of make.conf called WITH_OPENSSL_PORT. This should be documented in the make.conf man page.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Proposed wording (but this needs to be checked the ports people):

WITH_OPENSSL_PORT
(bool) Causes port building to use the OpenSSL from the ports (if available) instead of the OpenSSL from base.
