Description Po-Chuan Hsieh freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-07-13 18:09:04 UTC 
OpenSSL ships with pkgconfig files (libcrypto.pc, libssl.pc and openssl.pc).
OpenSSL port install them but OpenSSL from base system does not.
Therefore, some ports (e.g. devel/grpc and security/libfido2) need extra patch if OpenSSL from base system is used [1][2].
It would be better if we could install these pkgconfig files.
Thanks!

Here is another (earlier) request to add support of pkgconfig.  For consistency I think we should add it (pretty much like other libraries that we ship with FreeBSD base).
