The B<OPENSSL_INIT_LOAD_CONFIG> flag will load a default configuration

file.  To specify a different file, an B<OPENSSL_INIT_SETTINGS> must

be created and used. The routines

OPENSSL_init_new() and OPENSSL_INIT_set_config_appname() can be used to

allocate the object and set the application name, and then the

file. For optional configuration file settings, an B<OPENSSL_INIT_SETTINGS>

must be created and used.

The routines OPENSSL_init_new() and OPENSSL_INIT_set_config_appname() can

be used to allocate the object and set the application name, and then the

object can be released with OPENSSL_INIT_free() when done.
