Thanks for your feedback. I have to admit that I am a bit lost with the
referenced PR:

- I do not know where to download final version of your patch. I
  strongly suppose it is
  https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=151513
  Will it give a file Mk/bsd.port.mk somewhere in the ports tree? But
  where?

- I do not know how and against which to apply it.

- Do you know, if it will be officially incorporated into FreeBSD -
  as a ports addition?

- I do not know how to start a specific dependency check - let's say
  against www/firefox - with your patch.

- And finally: If it turns out that www/firefox depends on
  security/openssl: In this case www/firefox doesn't honor the
  WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=yes switch in /etc/make.conf on my machine which is
  a www/firefox bug - isn't it?

Hope you can give a brief summary.

Peter
