In apps/apps.c, one can set up an engine with setup_engine().
However, we freed the structural reference immediately, which means
that for engines that don't already have a structural reference
somewhere else (because it has registered at least one cipher or digest
algorithm method, and therefore gets a functional reference through the
ENGINE_set_default() call), we end up returning an invalid reference.
Instead, the function release_engine() is added, and called at the end
of the routines that call setup_engine().
Originally, the ENGINE API wasn't designed for this to happen, an
engine had to register at least one algorithm method, and was
especially expected to register the algorithms corresponding to the
key types that could be stored and hidden in hardware. However, it
turns out that some engines will not register those algorithms with
the ENGINE_set_{algo}, ENGINE_set_cipher or ENGINE_set_digest
functions, as they only want the methods to be used for keys, not as
general crypto accelerator methods. That may cause ENGINE_set_default()
to do nothing, and no functional reference is therefore made, leading
to a premature deallocation of the engine and it thereby becoming
unavailable when trying to fetch a key.

Move memory allocation failure checks closer to the site of the malloc in
dgst app. Only a problem if the debug flag is set...but still should be
fixed.

Use BUF_strlcat() instead of strcat().
Use BIO_snprintf() instead of sprintf().
In some cases, keep better track of buffer lengths.

exit() in whatever way works for the intended platform, and define
OPENSSL_EXIT() to have the old meaning (the name is of course because
it's only used in the openssl program)
CONF_modules_unload() now calls CONF_modules_finish()
automatically.
Default use of section openssl_conf moved to
CONF_modules_load()
Load config file in several openssl utilities.
Most utilities now load modules from the config file,
though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
because it couldn't be used for anything.
In the case of ca and req the config file used is
the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
command line option can be used to specify an
alternative file.
