Move to EAPI 5, respect LDFLAGS, avoid link with /usr/local, fix quotes

Same problem as with the other bug, how do you know the version and how will you know they do a version bump? Because the version is not in the URL a new version coming out can be problematic. Maybe we need to snapshot or just rehost them? If license permits...

Rewrite Makefile, rename SRC_URI to name src_unpack can handle in a generic way, use SLOTed DEPEND

Here is a patch for the Makefile, it's more a rewrite that a patch. The main idea is to rely on pkg-config to get cflags and libs to link with.

Also mkerr.pk seems to not be exist in openssl installation so I drop the errors rule.

Did you receive a response already? Otherwise we might just snapshot for now...

Looked into the tarball, the license indeed permits redistributing.

Here is Dr Stephen N Henson response :
