@krono Hm interesting. I'm quite surprised how complex that code appears. What corner cases is it intended to catch? Is this code also invoked when linking to OpenSSL at compile time or only at runtime?

My understanding of dlopen() was that if you provide the minimal amount of information (i.e. just the library name, no paths, no .so versions), it would just go head and figure out "the right thing" for you based on the user's system configuration. But the way this looks I'd assume that my guess is quite off here :D
