Its not a file name parameter it is the config section to use in order
to use something other than "openssl_conf". I thought that was one of
the requested features. If I've misinterpreted it I can change it to
specify an alternative config file. I'm not sure either is really needed
if I move some more of the handling over to CONF_modules_load_file().
It isn't too hard to specify an alternative filename at present anyway
just doing:
if (CONF_modules_load_file(filename, section, flags) <= 0)
/* Some error occurred */
instead of calling OPENSSL_config() should do the trick. Doing things
that way allows it to exit and tidy up gracefully rather than the abrupt
exit(1) of OPENSSL_config().
