How about making the each of the locations compile-time defined. I
would like to (for example) put binaries in /usr/bin, configuration
data, certs and keys in /etc/openssl/certs and /etc/openssl/keys, etc.
This would also be a great boon to binary package makers.
The SSLeay-0.9.1b RPM already includes some patches which do some of
this. I can forward them if you wish.
