+  *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
+     global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
+     via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
+     Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
+     OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
+     functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
+     EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
+     RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
+     COMP_zlib_cleanup().
