Hmm, I've never actually tried to use them together, but at this
point, there is bound to be some incompatibilities, at least in the
header files :-).
You see, OpenSSL is the direct successor of SSLeay. SSLeay stopped
being developped a year ago (or more). OpenSSL is a project and team
that took the latest SSLeay source and simply continued working from
there. So basically, trying to use OpenSSL together with the ancestor
SSLeay is a moot point at best...
geoff> So I can use the openssl inorder to compile the mod-ssl for apache?
The mod_ssl team can answer that, but I guess the answer will be a
resounding "yes".
geoff> I can then use SSLeay in order to create and sign certificates

You can use OPenSSL for it. You've possibly used the command "ssleay"
before. It has been replaced with the command "openssl".
geoff> Is there anything that I should be aware of when mixing the two.
Yes. Don't :-).
