 I had asked (and hoped) that the Pike authors would pick this up and
 create a fix. Unfortunately, they have shown little interest so far.
 
 As Pike 7.8 does include an old Nettle 1.5 library in the distribution,
 I shall prepare a patch for Pike to use this version instead of the
 standard FreeBSD port for Nettle, thus removing the existing dependency.
 It should then be simple to update the Nettle port without affecting
 Pike.

 Johan
