portfile:alpine, configure

[Jerry]

Hello.  I am trying to update the alpine portfile.  The standalone 
source compiles fine, as it usually has.  While testing the portfile on 
my local repo, there is a build error[1], meaning that the SSL header 
file is not found.  Checking the config log, it shows that the configure 
command has only one argument for the prefix[2], but from the portfile, 
it should have several arguments, including the relevant 
"--with-ssl-dir=/opt/local".

I don't follow MacPorts closely enough to know all the ins and outs, but 
any ideas why the configure args are missing?  Thanks for any tips.
