That would be a good goal, and shouldn't be too difficult. In fact you
could probably do reverse shims which map RSAREF API calls into OpenSSL
ones (i.e. the exact opposite of the OpenSSL->RSAREF ones currently in
OpenSSL :-) I should check with the OpenSSL guys to see if they plan to do
this.

The ones which explicitly mention export probably should stay disabled,
but it would be good to attempt to contact the author for
exemption/relicensing prior to the freeze. e.g. cfs (by Matt Blaze, he of
the sniffed EBay account password at USENIX :-) should be pretty easy to
get relicensed.
