I'm not even sure why they need to move to a different provider
(at this time). Instead I think we should have a mechanism to
enable/disable the individual algorithms, and still have
everything in the default provider, possibly disabled by default.

At some point in the future we could remove the code from OpenSSL,
and move it to different repository that only contains such legacy
code that we no longer ship as part of OpenSSL.
