After reading this thread, I took a look, and yes, that was the wrong
thing to do.  My bad.  I tried to do what ENGINE_get_static_state()
does, but without implementing that specific function...  I understand
now why that wasn't the best idea...

I entirely support merging the ENGINE_get_static_state() code into
0.9.7.
