Depends what kind of crypto you want to handle in other "crypto libs". RSA? RC4?
If it's public key stuff (or even if it's something else), try checking the
archives again for the word "ENGINE". Your search should come up a lot less dry.
:-) For public-key stuff that will give you what you need - for other stuff,
it's less easy and that is currently the subject of some discussion about ENGINE
(and EVP, and a few other things for that matter).

Cheers,
Geoff
