Comment:

 Latest version on the 2.x branch is now 2.12.9, and there's now a new
 stable branch currently at 3.0.1. I'm sure revbumps are required; I have
 no idea if there are further compatibility-breaking changes.

 It would be good to get this port up to date. openssl is a problematic
 dependency for licensing reasons when it comes to distributing binary
 packages, and gnutls would be a good alternative in some cases. (nss, and
 even the Apple-provided openssl may also be options.)

 For other license-related reasons, I think it'd be better to stick to
 gcrypt instead of nettle, if there isn't a really strong technical reason
 to do otherwise.
