But if he'd first made a commit to security/cyrus-sasl2 saying "be sure 
to include md5.h", and then a commit to comms/kermit saying "correct 
conflicting macro definition", and then updated openssl, there would be 
no complaints. Just playing devil's advocate here (note: dinoex, don't 
read anything into that ::P).

This is the same problem we see every single slush. Can portmgr please 
produce an explicit set of rules for port slushes? I know that the 
automatic response is "no sweeping changes," but it's pretty apparent 
that that means different things to different people. I know that it's 
tricky to define, but doing so would save everybody grief in the long run.
