Fix them :-)

However, there is a minor problem: we can easily remove the rsaref gunk
from bsd.port.mk today, but people who use an older -stable won't be able
to use it (since they still have to link against librsaref). That's okay,
because we only support the latest -stable and make other people install
an upgrade kit - but we'll have to include libcrypto.*, openssh, etc in
the upgrade kit because libcrypto changed, and openssh depends on the new
version of the library. But not everyone may have installed openssl and
openssh on their machines, or want them installed - therein lies the
problem.
