be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.

"openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This

implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control

reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
(crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
