>Why does this https variant default to libressl (while allowing openssl), when other ports default to openssl (while allowing libressl)? libressl is *not* a drop-in replacement for openssl, in that ports have to be recompiled to use a different ssl library. By defaulting to libressl here, you guarantee that users who install this port with the https variant first will get libressl, and if they then install any other port that depends on *ssl, the binaries they receive will be broken and will need to be recompiled from source.

Note that this variant depends on libtls.dylib not libssl.dylib and only
libressl(-devel) provides it. I have a libtls[1] port for this but I'm
not sure if it's ready for the official ports tree.
