This will take quite a lot of work, = and a lot of time, for something that I deal with a handful of times a = year.

Since openssl updated about a week ago, this oversight falls into the = class that I would call =E2=80=9Cinexcusable=E2=80=9D. If I did this on = a job I would (rightly) be immediately fired.
