It *IS* in compat4x, but not installed by default due to vulnerabilities in
OpenSSL, you get more info by issuing `make FORCE_VULNERABLE_OPENSSL=yes` in
compat4x's dir. And if you are absolutelly sure that you can live with it, you
can force installation of vulnerable libs - please read ports(7) manpage to find
out how to do it (just a safety measure on my part :-).
