WARNING
-SSL_library_init() only registers ciphers. Another important initialization
-is the seeding of the PRNG (Pseude Random Number Generator), which has to
-be performed seperately.
+SSL_library_init() adds ciphers and digests used directly and indirectly by
+SSL/TLS.

+OpenSSL 0.9.8o and 1.0.0a and later added SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init().
+Applications which need to use SHA2 in earlier versions of OpenSSL should call
+OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() as well.
