I think they use a "batteries included" approach in the enc code: man pages [2] talks about a IV/key generation, so OpenSSL doesn't provide the primitive block cipher (and you, user, need to take care of stream cipher mode when you need it) but instead they offer an all-included solution, absolutely non-standard IMHO, which derives key and IV from passphrase, with a salt. Am I wrong in something? BTW, a concurrent library, Crypto++, does the exact opposite [1].
