Ralf, I'm not sure what you mean by a "not nice" layout. It seems
reasonable to me, given that $prefix is (by convention) a private
directory for OpenSSL's files. So there is not really a need for an
additional directory layer for $prefix/etc.
One thing I think is in the wrong place, though, is ssleay.cnf, which
shouldn't be in $prefix/lib. A good new location would be $prefix/etc. So
I'd like:
bin <-- program binaries
certs <-- certificates
etc <-- ssleay.cnf
include <-- header files
lib <-- library files
private <-- private keys
