Hi, Kris,

I'm still trying to understand the issue here. Was it so that a program
linking against Qt also linked against LibreSSL (installed in
/usr/local) tried to do some SSL work, which then caused Qt to load
OpenSSL from /usr? If so, doesn't your patch break the opposite case
(a program only links against OpenSSL from /usr, Qt then ends up loading
LibreSSL from /usr/local)? Or is PC-BSD controlling the environment so
that this is unsupported and not supposed to happen?
