First:

Our patch provides exactly what is stated. Kaspar Brand said that this is
"fairly superficial support for engine-based keys" but at this point of time
Apache httpd can not load private keys from tokens at all.

This functionality is becoming more and more crucial over time. Our patch can
simply add this functionality without any consequences. It can be upgraded
later with a better solution if its needed.

Second:

Our vision is that OpenSSL is preconfigured and SSLCertificateKeyFile just use
ENGINE_by_id (and then ENGINE_load_private_key) for getting already initialized
ENGINE (initialized by OpenSSL config).

Your vision is that OpenSSL should be configured by Apache httpd, can you
provide information why?
