Yes, that would make sense, but we can't.  Primarily because OpenSSL
does not provide an interface to do so, but also because we don't know
up front what kind of certificates will be used, and whether OpenVPN
will be run as a client or server (client-side support for ECDH should
work with ovpn-2.3 + openssl too, but I didn't test).
