Previously, the default RSA_METHOD was NULL until the first RSA structure was

initialised, at which point an appropriate default was chosen. This meant a
call to RSA_get_default_method might have returned FALSE.

This change fixes that; now any called to RSA_new(), RSA_new_method(NULL), or
RSA_get_default_method() will ensure that a default is chosen if it wasn't
already.

  Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6  [xx XXX 2000]
 
+  *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
+     RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
+     Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
+     or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
+     RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
+     [Geoff Thorpe]
+
   *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
      that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
      that are sufficiently small and have no path information
