Sorry to hear that.

If mcrypt is such a pain for OSX users, I might offer to refactor some other frameworks' libraries to use openssl in the near future.

It's not, if you're using Homebrew (which you should be). `brew install php56-mcrypt` and you're done.

I am using homebrew but it definitely wasn't that simple. I think it was because my OSX (for some reason) wasn't using the right PHP version and so installing mcrypt from homebrew didn't have any effect until I reconfigured apache.
