Yes, mod_ssl still lacks support for this stuff. The reason is I don't
wanted to add confusion, because the engine stuff is still a separate
branch in OpenSSL. But it will be merged into the next version of
OpenSSL and then official support to mod_ssl will be added through
a new SSLHardwareEngine (or whatever it should be named else - any
suggestions?) directive. Will happen officially with 2.7.0 and perhaps
before with 2.6.7 under SSL_EXPERIMENTAL.
