Hmm, it feels like it's really time for a rename (basically, change
"des" to "DES" in all names, and thereby follow the "convention" used
everywhere else in OpenSSL), or this becomes an impossible task.

For source compatibility, it's of course perfectly possible to provide
macros so older applications don't break immediately.
