Comment:

 Confirmed, this problem exists when the MacPorts prefix is not /opt/local.
 The reason is that in the pre-patch phase, ${prefix} is inserted into the
 file being patched, and then the patchfile assumes that it is /opt/local
 that has been inserted.

 I do not understand why this port has a pre-patch phase, a patchfile, and
 a post-patch phase, all affecting project.pbxproj. I would think that at
 most a patchfile and a post-patch reinplace would be needed.

 Note that the current patchfile isn't correct, in that it replaces
 "/opt/local/lib/libcrypto.0.9.7.dylib" with "@@PREFIX@@/libcrypto.dylib"
 when it should be replacing it with "@@PREFIX@@/lib/libcrypto.dylib".
 Curiously, the software still manages to be linked with the proper
 libcrypto; not sure how that's happening.
