[Voyage-linux] 0.8 - OCF support in openssl

No, I didn't see much improved performance.
Currently, I use OpenVPN-NL, because it uses PolarSSL and is stripped for insecure options.. There is no HW acceleration in PolarSSL. AFAIR almost same performance as OpenSSL libs.

scp in vpn tunnel: you can guess the result.
