I don't know :-)

Hmm, I think I missed this mail.

libcrypto tries to dlopen() librsaintl, or failing that, librsausa when a
RSA function is called.
librsaintl contains the OpenSSL RSA code.
librsausa contains wrappers which interface to the RSAREF API, and calls
librsaref via dlopen().
If you need more than that, perhaps either read the code or the mailing
list archives for the last month. I've explained it all N>>1 times :-)
