Log:
  - Mark OVERWRITE_BASE and security/openssh-portable-base as DEPRECATED.
    These will be removed on January 1 2015.
  
    Really ports should not be touching the base system at all.
  
    This option is a big foot-shoot problem:
  
    1. Recent versions of FreeBSD such as 9.3, 10.0, 10.1+, now remove all ssh
       files from /usr if you 'make delete-old' with WITHOUT_SSH. This results in
       removing the overwrite base files.
    2. Uninstalling the package leaves the system with no ssh.
    3. Running installworld without WITHOUT_SSH results in overwriting the
       package, or giving false-positive 'pkg check -s' errors.
    4. The port fails to pass QA checks because it removes system files.
