Only problem is - it doesn't really fix anything without some other
finger waving.

Poking around, using truss etc, I discovered that the base libraries
look in /etc/ssl/certs, the version of c_rehash (that doesn't get
installed) that hides in the source tree looks in /usr/local/ssl/certs
and the ports version of openssl looks in /usr/local/openssl/certs.

In short, a bit of a mess :-)

So, the only way to get it to work is to point /etc/ssl/certs at
/usr/local/openssl/certs and use the c_rehash that comes with the port
(but given the version differences, I doubt that's a good idea, even
if it's what I've done).  Or to edit and install the c_rehash that
comes with the source tree, but doesn't get installed (and create the
top level directory required).

I'm happy to raise a PR about this as I'd like to see this easier for
others to get working - FreeBSD really shouldn't be this hard, that's
what Linux is for :-)
