Frankly, I don't much care whether openssl-with-an-external-engine
works; we never supported that before, and if it doesn't work now,
that's not a regression. What I'm worried about at this stage of the
release cycle is regressions, eg, does the code still compile at all
with openssl version 0.9.random-version-that-used-to-work.
