OpenSSL 4.0 is in experimental. This package fails to build against it:

| -- Found PkgConfig: /usr/bin/pkg-config (found version "2.5.1")
| CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:118 (message):
|   Unable to discover the OpenSSL engines directory.  Provide the path using
|   -DOPENSSL_ENGINES_DIR

Engine support is gone, this needs to become a provider.

Hello, Sebastian.

Yes, this package would need to be removed once we migrate to 4.0, so I'll
leave this open.
Upstream work to convert it to a provider hasn't seen any commits since 7
years.

Thanks, Wartan.

The provider is already in the package and it seems upstream IS actively
working on it. They claim it to be working with openssl 4.0.
