Backing out is not an option.  The ENGINE_get_static_state() check is
there for a very specific reason that hits most Unixly users, at least
if the engine is linked with the exact dynamic library that loads it.
Since that's a fairly plausible scenario, I think it would be a bad
move not to make any checks of the sort.
