The difference is that openssl-engine-0.9.6a.tar contains an
experimental interface to external crypto packages, currently only
certain hardware accelerators.
Unless you have hardware crypto devices from Rainbow, nCipher and a
couple more or plan to install and use them, the engine variant is not
interesting for you.
No, you do not need both. Either or, basically.
