I agree. That would be the right thing to do, but it'll be a lot more work than what I can do right now. Parking it for future. Additionally, I have a build working with openssl v1.0.1j with a typical configuration which I've had past experience with. Is there any specific version anyone prefers? Although I can submit the existing work for starters and then plan any update what so ever. -Neeraj
