Right now libressl exports many of the same symbols as openssl
right?  What if it didn't -- that is, we forced a symver map with a
libressl prefix on all symbols?  That would ensure anything built
against libressl would not b0rk if openssl was loaded, or more
specifically, if something else was loaded that was built against
and links to openssl.

This wouldn't need any rdep patching at all, and would ensure symbol
collisions between the two projects would not occur.  It doesn't
explicitly enable side-by-side installation but it would help ensure
things built for one project wouldn't use symbols from the other's
lib expecting compatibility and randomly fail.

...or am I mis-understanding the major issue with the
libressl/openssl conflict?
