That works until one links in a component that also uses openssl, like ldap. Then it needs to be maintained in two versions as well. Which is not impossible and has been done to gnutls and other derivatives. But yuk. For Apache httpd, which loads external modules dynamically, it is a step more complicated. Interesting times.
