This depends on which version of OpenSSL you have installed - newer
versions will report "emailAddress" while older ones report "Email".  I
suspect this change was introduced in OpenSSL 0.9.7, to make object
definitions compliant with RFC 2256 (LDAP), although I'm not certain. 
It definitely happened between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7b, though.

In light of the above, I think it would be better to make the change
conditional on the version of OpenSSL in use.
