I've not reviewed this in any detail yet, but I believe we're in agreement
on the general ideas. I do think that we need two separate configure
switches: one asking to use the OSSP library and one asking to use the
other library. That's an easy change though.

Assuming this works as advertised, does anyone have an objection to
pushing it into 9.4?
