Export cryptography isn't really much of an issue now.

n January 2000, the restrictions on export regulations were dramatically relaxed. Today, any cryptographic product is exportable under a license exception (that is, without a license) unless the end-users are foreign governments or embargoed destinations (Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Serbia, Sudan, Syria, and Taleban-controlled areas of Afghanistan as of January 2000). Export to government end-users may also be approved, but under a license.

No modifications are necessary for "export-grade" cryptography, so OpenSSL recompiles can be posted on the internet.
The missing piece here was that "strong" encryption can be exported under "license exception TSU" when the source code for the encryption is publicly available.

Per that regulation, nPOPuk with built-in SSL is now available
(with source code from the OpenSSL project
).
