Good idea, looks rather sane to me.  I don't have a clear idea about
the WIN32/autoconf combination (sorry!), but I can't really believe
that packagers of OpenSSL on Windows would want the same library name
compatibility, patching upstream to be able to achieve the old naming.
fairywren, hamerkop and drongo use meson.  Lorikeet relies on
./configure and builds with OpenSSL 3.0.12, so even there I would hope
that we are in the clear.

Not something I'm planning to care about, just noting that from the
top of OpenSSL master branch (0958f5a5bc47 as of today):
$ git grep eay32
.gitignore:/ms/libeay32.def
.gitignore:/ms/ssleay32.def

They should have no need for these references.
