I'm not sure it makes sense in -this- case..  but I've more then once thought
that it would be nice for a global distro "this is the preferred crypto engine"
setting.

That way you could do things like default to openssl, libgcrypt, libnss, etc..
whatever is appropriate for the system you are building.  It wouldn't promise
that everything would just use that crypto backend, but things that could -- should.

(This is certainly a more extensive patch then what's being discussed here..)
