 I've made the above change as part of updating security/openssl to
 openssl-0.9.7f.

 I've thought more about this and I don't see a nice way to make this
 idea work with pkgviews at the moment.  I think the pkg_* tools will
 need some improvements first before this step can proceed.  However,
 I've modified mail/cue to use bsd.options.mk and it now shares the
 same "idea" package option with the openssl package, so these two
 packages should now interact properly when both are built with or
 without IDEA support.
