   What already exists is fairly stable as far as it has been tested, but
   the test base has been a bit small most of the time.
 
+  Because of this experimental status and what's lacking, the ENGINE
+  component is not yet part of the default OpenSSL distribution.  However,
+  we have made a separate kit for those who want to try this out, to be
+  found in the same places as the default OpenSSL distribution, but with
+  "-engine-" being part of the kit file name.  For example, version 0.9.6
+  is distributed in the following two files:
+
+      openssl-0.9.6.tar.gz
+      openssl-engine-0.9.6.tar.gz
+
+  NOTES
+  =====
+
+  openssl-engine-0.9.6.tar.gz does not depend on openssl-0.9.6.tar, you do
+  not need to download both.
+
+  openssl-engine-0.9.6.tar.gz is usable even if you don't have an external
+  crypto device.  The internal OpenSSL functions are contained in the
+  engine "openssl", and will be used by default.
 
   No external crypto device is chosen unless you say so.  You have actively
   tell the openssl utility commands to use it through a new command line
