FreeBSD already includes the native OpenSSL implementation of RSA - this
code hasn't changed in the latest beta.

Nope - I will import it in -current after the official release of 0.9.6,
and if there are no problems observed after 3 or 4 weeks, will bring it
back to -stable. This is a critical part of the system because people rely
on it for things like SSL webservers and OpenSSH.

The 'a' doesnt mean alpha, it was a bugfix release just after 0.9.5
