OpenSSL 3 is a major, even larger than 1.1, API/ABI change. Quite a bit 
of stuff will be broken today. The effort here has to include working 
with as many port upstreams as possible to force the issue, as they may 
not hold OpenSSL 3 compatibility to be an immediate priority; patching 
ports on a large scale like this is not sustainable.
