 Pseudo-portnames
 ----------------
 Pseudo-portnames are words that may be used in place of a portname, and
 which expand to some set of ports. The common pseudo-portnames are:
 all, current, active, inactive, actinact, installed, uninstalled,
 outdated,
 obsolete, requested, unrequested and leaves.
 These pseudo-portnames expand to the set of ports named.

 I'm not sure what the list should be, but I'm fairly certain it should
 include compilers:

 {{{
 $ port search g++
 No match for g++ found
 $ port search 'g++'
 No match for g++ found
 $ port search 'g\+\+'
 No match for g\+\+ found
 $ port search '*g++*'
 No match for *g++* found
 $ port search 'clang++'
 No match for clang++ found
 $ port search 'clang\+\+'
 No match for clang\+\+ found
 $ port search '*clang++*'
 No match for *clang++* found
 }}}

 And from [http://list.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 users/2016-January/040289.html What is the name of the Bouncy Castle
 Port]:

 {{{
 $ port search BouncyCastle
 No match for BouncyCastle found
 $ port search Bouncy-Castle
 No match for Bouncy-Castle found
 $ port search '*BouncyCastle*'
 No match for *BouncyCastle* found
 $ port search '*Bouncy-Castle*'
 No match for *Bouncy-Castle* found
 }}}

 According to the answer, the package name is `lcrypto`. As a naive user, I
 would expect that name to be closer to OpenSSL because on uses `-lcrypto`
 to include it.
