I think some of the developers are working on generic
support for acceleration. (I wouldn't know, I just started
using OpenSSL.) I did throw together a page on acceleration
support at http://www.kegel.com/ssl.html earlier year, perhaps
it will be of some interest still.
Try looking for #ifdef ATALLA for some of the early
acceleration support (before they started trying to do it cleanly).
