I looked into this actually as my first choice, but the problem I had
was that the recommended new functions weren't available on other
OpenSSL libraries, and we'd have to add compatibility macros and stuff,
so it seemed to me that the less complicated thing to do was wait till
OpenSSL 1 was just not widely deployed anymore. This strategy is also
being used in other scripts in the kernel.
