It's a bug in finch.c. USE_OPENSSL says "I depend on the OpenSSL toolkit"
and handles the dependency (as a LIB_DEPENDS) to either the port or the
base system version for 3.x/[45].x rspectively.
USE_OPENSSL=RSA says "I need RSA crypto as well" and pulls in the RSAREF
port as a LIB_DEPENDS if USA_RESIDENT is set to 'YES'.
