Regardless of approach taken I think this sounds like something that should be
tackled in a follow-up patch if the NSS patch is merged - and probably only as
a follow-up to a patch that adds test coverage to sslinfo.  From the sounds of
things me may not be able to guarantee stability across OpenSSL versions as it
is right now?
