-  Because of this experimental status and what's lacking, the ENGINE

-  openssl-engine-0.9.6.tar.gz does not depend on openssl-0.9.6.tar, you do

-  openssl-engine-0.9.6.tar.gz is usable even if you don't have an external

+  ========

+  It seems like the ENGINE part doesn't work too well with Cryptoswift on
