On this particular point, it shouldn't be too hard to integrate change
1.11 of dso_dl.c, and that would hardly break existing functionality,
and at least make OpenSSL operate in a consistent way over all Unixly
platforms (since it doesn't prohibit the use of LD_LIBRARY_PATH on all
other platforms).

Thoughts?
