Users need a possibility to transparently gain knowledge of which
code path has to be taken.  I cannot transparently implement this,
i need to hardcode something.  (Yes, i did how i said in the past,
ie, trying to establish message-digest, and take the other code
path if that did not work, but whether that is the approach to do
it was only a guessing.)

This is at odds with what SSL_CONF_cmd() is trying to achieve (to
some extend, at least).
