Could you describe in a bit more detail what your patch does?  I don't
really understand the openssl innards well enough, but am curious.

*If* I understand it correctly, what it does is provide keying material
(ECDH) to support EC for the TLS handshake, right?  And there isn't actually
anything in OpenVPN needed (besides provide keying material) as that's
all "inside OpenSSL".

So how do you create the key material?  

Which parts of the key handshake does it cover?  Signature/Certificates,
or *only* DH?
