If you don't mind including the root CA or there are more than 2 certs
in the chain then SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert() will work because that
automatically disables the auto chain now.

You only need that new mode flag in the exceptional case where you have
a chain consisting of two certificates and you specifically want to omit
the root CA. 

Changing the default behaviour is likely to break existing applications
that rely on it so I can't really do that.

Steve.
