Hi Arnout.
It helps in having matching options for both. Regarding engines libressl 
doesn't handle that. And in openssl we just remove the tool with that 
option - arguably we can do the same with libressl, but then other 
people might chime in for adding that same option to some other $package 
and we'd get an option overload.
Hence i found the opportunity a good one for cleaning up.
Regards.
