Then how is Carl's patch supposed to work? Unless you mean new API on
top of the inherited openssl 1.0 API. If that's the case and such new
libressl specific API is worth using then a separate module could be
considered (Or just some more ifdeffery in tls_openssl.c, much like we
do for openssl 1.1), but if it works as is then as i said I want to
avoid new TLS modules as much as possible.
