[kde-freebsd] net/qt4-network vs libssl/libcrypto

[Andriy Gapon]

net/qt4-network can provide SSL support via libssl, but it doesn't explicit link
to the library.  Instead it has a run-time logic to search and dynamically load
libssl and libcrypto.  The logic is in the following file:
src/network/ssl/qsslsocket_openssl_symbols.cpp

Currently the logic is implemented in such a way that on FreeBSD it would find
libssl from the base system before libssl from openssl port/package if it is
installed.
This could be a problem if an executable that uses libQtNetwork is also directly
linked to libssl from ports (which is a default behavior for ports that depend
on libssl).

Maybe this problem could be fixed if the code tried to load
libssl.so.<SHLIB_VERSION_NUMBER> first, but for some reason it doesn't.  Maybe
proper opensslv.h is just not included.
Another problem is that opensslv.h from the openssl port defines
SHLIB_VERSION_NUMBER to "0.9.8" when it probably should match the actual version
used on FreeBSD and be "7".
