Now this is interesting. I see no such thing in my OpenSSL 0.9.8a headers:

$ cd /usr/include/openssl/
$ grep SSL_CTX_callback_ctrl *.h
ssl.h:long SSL_CTX_callback_ctrl(SSL_CTX *, int, void (*)(void));

Nonono, ssl_lib.c is not used by curl and that is not bothering us.

(I assume you meant the second one to be 0.9.8)

They look identical.

I don't see a change in API. And since we do it like this fine with 0.9.8 I'd
say it works fine too. And no autobuilds give any warnings on this line.

I can only see that we could typecast the argument passed to the function, but
I don't see how this is any different to what we did for OpenSSL 0.9.7...
