As far as I can tell, there isn't even working support for plain old
MAC in the engine interface.  It would be rather ironic to go tearing
things up for encrypt+mac when all the hardware out there which
accellerates even plain-vanilla HMAC can't be used...

There's plenty to fix in this area and I don't think some of the really
questionable interfaces (like ENGINE) should be considered sacrosanct.
