// OpenSSL can optionally load a config file which lists optional loadable modules and engines.
// We don't use them so we don't require the config. However some of our libs may call functions
// which attempt to load the config file, possibly resulting in an exit() or crash if it is missing
// or corrupt. Explicitly tell OpenSSL not to try to load the file. The result for our libs will be
// that the config appears to have been loaded and there are no modules/engines available.
