Sorry that I didn't respond earlier. I'm currently on vacation in the
US, and the connectitivies available to me have been horrible.
About making changes to the source, perhaps you could share your
changes with us and they might become part of the source in the next
version? Also, it could be good to know what version you're talking
about. Our main development is currently in 0.9.7 (in beta) and 0.9.8
(in development).

Of all those solutions, it looks like the first is the simplest. It's
the one I'd choose, especially in when in a hurry.
OpenSSL has never been fully built with GNU C on VMS. I skipped diong
that because GNU C on VAX and GNU C on Alpha differ (!) (or did at the
time I looked), and at the time, the Alpha port was under heavy
development.
