ok

(as an aside: a bunch of the sysutils/lib* are just there to support
plaso/sleuthkit both of which are active upstream but have been mostly
ignored for ~5 years in ports, which is less than ideal for security
analysis tools, i would certainly be ok with removing them if they
get in the way of anything)

i'll take a look at veracrypt
