Thanks, that's a net improvement. So +1 for this version.

/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf is not available on macos or Windows, which can
lead to a bit of confusion as I would imagine that people would
copy/paste such commands when testing things. Perhaps it would be worth
mentioning that this path is proper to usual Linux distributions (I can
see it at least on ArchLinux and Debian), with a reference to this
OpenSSL link:
https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man5/config.html
There is as well a set of tiny configuration files in src/test/ssl.
