-
-RAND_set_rand_method(), RAND_get_rand_method() and RAND_SSLeay() are
-available in all versions of OpenSSL.

-In the engine version of version 0.9.6, RAND_set_rand_method() was altered to
-take an ENGINE pointer as its argument. As of version 0.9.7, that has been
-reverted as the ENGINE API transparently overrides RAND defaults if used,
-otherwise RAND API functions work as before. RAND_set_rand_engine() was also
-introduced in version 0.9.7.
