Well in general you should supply patches against the current
development version of OpenSSL. The actual changes from 0.9.6a and
0.9.7-dev are considerable and whole sections of the library have been
rewritten.
In general its a good idea to mention any changes or areas you think
need changing in openssl-dev first. Someone may be already working on
the changes anyway and not committed them yet.
