It looks to me like we have a problem.  Not all apps are going to  
conveniently remember to call OPENSSL_Applink(), nor in my opinion,  
should they.  Some may not Soooo....

1- Why does everything work without this stunt under MacOSX?  ...or  
is that a false positive?

2- Is there some way to trick OpenSSL by adding something to  
__m2crypto.i and __init__.py so that when M2Crypto is imported,  
OPENSSL_Applink() gets called?  (I tried but my knowledge of exactly  
how is limited.)

3- OPENSSL_Applink(), in applink.c, has a once flag.  Do we call it  
from every load_key() and save_key()?

4- ???
