So far my personal opinion on this one is that I'd rather wait until
1.2 and actually change the SSL_CTX_new() behavior, as opposed to
having to add a new API that not much software would be using.  (To
be clear, I think that changing SSL_CTX_new() to read a systemwide
config file is inconsistent with our API stability policy for dot
releases.)  This is perhaps complicated by the interplay with #2397,
which also wants to extend SSL_CTX_new() for sharing session caches
between SSL_CTXes.  (This behavior inherently requires a new API.)
