Update of /cvsroot/pkgsrc/security/boringssl
In directory ivanova.netbsd.org:/tmp/cvs-serv7271

Log Message:
Import boringssl into the packages collection.  This is a tar file of
the sources taken at 20151230 from

        https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl/

with portability fixes for NetBSD.  It installs into ${PREFIX}/bssl to
avoid conflicts with openssl.

        BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's
        needs.

        Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for
        general use, as OpenSSL is.  We don't recommend that third parties
        depend upon it.  Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there
        are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.

        Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we
        update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes.  This
        allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility.
        It works for us, but it may not work for you.

        BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various
        ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were
        maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL.  As Google's product
        portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and
        the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple
        places was growing steadily.
