My port is quite old. The version it is based on is known to have
vunerabilities which are fixed in later versions. However, it is not a
10 minute job to upgrade the port.

If you want to port a newer version i would recommend you keep the
same style of CDL. Many of the crypto and hashing algorithms are
patented, so it is importent users have the option of not compiling
algorithms they don't want to license or use without a license. To
make this work i had the clean up the #ifdef's a little. Hopefully the
newer versions have these changes anyway. I also had to move the test
cases around, and some would just not compile, or needed access to a
filessystem which is not easy to arrange in a testcase. So i dropped
those.
