I think a new port regardless of flavor would be much welcomed.
Something based on 2.7 would be great for Mercurial, but I know there
is a need elsewhere for a 3.x port. I have not looked into how much
would work it would take to mitigate the apishness of a new port but
it looks like others have (bummer). I suspect dropping openssl will be
tricky but it would be quite worthwhile especially given Mercurial's
penchant for https.
Cheers,
Steve
