Alas I can't give you any off-the-top hints about UI_METHOD because I 
haven't used it myself, so I've CC'd Richard who is the guy who did 
UI_METHOD. Richard, if there's anything obvious in the above snippet 
please feel free to comment. However I'd suggest taking this over to the 
openssl-dev mail list Kent - then Richard and/or others can follow up 
more meaningfully (and the subsequent discussion might be useful for 
ongoing development).

Cheers,
Geoff
