Yes, I know you can enable/disable the algorithms at build time. However, my question is if a user could enable/disable an algorithm when the library is already built (even by the application using OpenSSL or some generic configuration of OpenSSL).
I thought there was actually no way to do that. Your answer reinforces that.
