By the way, I may have come off wrong. I'm willing to do the work to
update the base version and put it out for review if you would like.

Another thing that I did with the port was restore the tcpwrapper
support that upstream removed. Again, if we decide it is not worth
keeping in base I will remove it as default in the port.

I honestly don't have a strong opinion on keeping or removing HPN. It is
afterall available in the port and I intend to keep it as an option
there. The question is just what the default is.

I prefer to keep the port close to the base version by default options.
I never liked the idea of having 2 different things in the ecosystem
that behave differently, from OpenSSL to OpenSSH, etc.
