We have recently (two days ago!) switched to OpenSSL as the backend
crypto library. We use it via the PyOpenSSL bindings.

I looked at the OpenSSL source, and I *think* it can do what we want:
the files

  openssl-0.9.8h/engines/e_4758cca.*

look promising... I could not immediatedly find any documentation that
explained what can and cannot be done with OpenSSL and the IBM 4758 --
maybe we will have to write them ourselves :-)
