Not that I oppose the sentiment of making life easier to users, but
OpenSSL is a project of its own, with a community of developers around
it. Making their library easier to consume should be their goal, not
everyone else's. If you have complaints or suggestions on this front,
you should probably take them to the OpenSSL developers.
