Quick answer, solely based on the header files and looking for the
parts that do not expose there structures: EC, ECDH, ECDSA (although
it exposes the signature structure, but I think that one's
standardardised), pqueue, UI.  ENGINE should also be here even though
there are some exposed structures.  Those structures are fairly well
defined and are not subject to change soon, as far as I can predict.

Quite honestly, even though I'm quite an enthusiastic OpenSSL
developer for years and have been for years (since it started,
really), I can't really recommend OpenSSL as an LSB candidate from
that point of view, as it stands today.  Every "major upgrade" (which
we define as a change of x in 0.9.x) has had some kind of
incompatibility with previous versions.

Cheers,
Richard
