Thanks Mounir, I'd like to use ECDSA_METHOD to implement a dynamic engine for ecdsa. I want to avoid copying the header files from the upstream source so that my engine package can compile stand-alone. This should be in line with the way dynamic engines have worked for other algorithms since 0.9.8, if I understand correctly.
Should I open an item in the issue tracker for this?
