Are there any hard and fast rules regarding which openssl functions allocate 
memory which they expect the caller to then manage and which ones just return a 
pointer to an existing structure?

I'm thinking about things like X509_get_issuer_name, X509_get_subject_name 
(which, I think, return pointers), and X509_get_serialNumber (which seems to 
return a copy).
