>Description:
	
An attempt to load crypto engine dynamically into libcrypto fails.

The reason is that none of the available DSO methods is enabled --
when compiling /usr/src/crypto/openssl/crypto/dso/dso_openssl.c
DSO_METHOD_openssl() falls back to DSO_METHOD_null().

Having enabled DSO_METHOD_dlfcn (see Fix:) I managed to use the opensc
engine to access my hw token, hence I believe there is no serious reason
to disable this feature.


>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:

Make the symbols DSO_DLFCN, HAVE_DLFCN_H defined when compiling
in /usr/src/secure/lib/libcrypto
