A few collegues and I found that to be quite dangerous.  Suppose
someone wants to use OpenSSL as part of another shared library.
You'll end up with a shared library where parts are relocatable and
parts are not.  That's extremely bad.

I do not recall if that was the reason I treat the shared library
configuration data the way I do, or if it was just luck it got that
way...
