Yeah, I am doing something similar now. The problem is that we are in effect releasing a version the OpenSSL community does not know about. Potential for confusion all around. It would be great to have at least the upstream package versions maintained intact as far as possible. By the way, I would love to contribute to this. If we can decide on the versioning scheme (could be based on Gentoo's or the simpler Debian one), I can start working on adding support for it.
