Well, that's not really a viable solution for a distribution. We
prefer to have one binary package rather every setting :-)

A way to set default context options via config file would be nice
for other settings too. If applications could rely on a sane default
config provided by the distro/admin the individual calls to
SSL_CTX_set_options, SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list,
SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths/SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations, etc
in each and every applications were no longer be necessary.
