This is a really good idea, I hope Daniel's comment is not lost here.
In fact no need to remove the header files - adding the required:
#define OPENSSL_NO_ENGINE
into <openssl/configuration-%{arch}.h> will make the OpenSSL API act as
if it was built with the no-engine option - this would not be an API
fork since it's one of many configurations supported upstream.
It will have the desired effect of disabling ENGINE support across most
of Fedora in the next mass-rebuild. Or at least we can easily track down
the places where the detection isn't perfect, they will break at compile
time.
