 All three ports that depend on botan seems to work with 1.10 too so the
 easiest way would be to just upgrade it to 1.10 and drop 1.8, but yes,
 people can have code that won't upgrade as easily so it's probably safer
 to start with committing a separate security/botan-1.10 port and then
 upgrade dependencies in time (and then drop 1.8 someday).

 Maintaining it it's fine by me, I just had a few busy days lately. :)
