(Hi Igor)

This is almost certainly a problem due to building openssl-0.9.2b
with RSAref. The problem is that OAEP is a new RSA "encryption
scheme" defined in RFC2347 dated October 1998. RSAref 2.0
appears to date back to 1994.

My fond hope here is that the "make test" failure is a
minor oversight (forgetting to skip invocation of
rsa_oaep_test when -DRSAref is used.) I just commented
out the invocation of it in test/Makefile.ssl and got
through the rest of "make test" (and "apps/openssl speed")
without problems.

Hope to try out mod-ssl-2.2.6-1.3.6 + openssl-0.9.2b
+ rsaref-2.0 on a production server tomorrow morning to
see if my fond hope is wrong.
