OK, here's a slightly longer version of the answer. Openssl-0.9.6g and openssl-engine-0.9.6g are identical with one exception: openssl-engine-0.9.6g contains engine code to support several vendors' hardware accelerator cards, and openssl-0.9.6g doesn't. In openssl-0.9.7 (currently in the beta release phase), this engine code will be part of the general distribution. Hardware accelerators supported by openssl-engine-0.9.6g include CryptoSwift, nCipher, Atalla, and several others.

Does openssl-engine-0.9.6g include everything in openssl-0.9.6g? And if I want to include support for cryptographic hardware acclerators in my SSL enabled application, do I need to use openssl-engine-0.9.6g instead of openssl-0.9.6g?
