Hmmmm.  An interesting analogy. :) However, to play nice with the
current framework (and the one I suspect will exist going forward), I
think that the non-US libcrypto will need to make possible the
compilation of just its "full native RSA crypto" functions into a
librsaref.so library which bears no resemblance other than its name to
the USA dog-breath version.  Then libcrypto can still find and pull in
this version and happiness will be restored to this planet.
