 SSL support is currently disabled by default in the portfile. This causes
 several ports which depend on the erlang port to break or to have only
 limited usefulness. Such as:
  * yaws - no https support
  * ejabberd - no TLS, STARTTLS support
  * rebar (waiting to be submitted) - won't even work without SSL support

 As it is not possible to specify a variant as a dependency the above-
 mentioned examples can't be fixed on their own. Therefor I suggest to
 enable SSL by default - its also more conform to the upstream version:
 [[BR]]
 "  --with-ssl use SSL (default)" (from ./configure --help)

 The attached patches propose to different solutions:
  1. add ssl as a default variant
  2. remove the ssl variant and add a no_ssl variant

 Does anybody really wants a no_ssl variant? That doesn't make sense to me.
