Openssl's configuration only allows two location options, --prefix,
which is set to /usr, and --openssldir, which is set to /usr/ssl
by default. So, if we change --openssldir to /usr/share/ssl, all
files will move there, including the man pages.

I didn't look into the patches applied by Linux distros, but the
upstream, vanilla openssl package does not allow to move directories
other than with --prefix and --openssldir. The engines path is, like
others, hardcoded into the Makefile, like this:
install_sw:
@$(PERL) $(TOP)/util/mkdir-p.pl $(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(INSTALLTOP)/bin \
$(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(INSTALLTOP)/lib \
$(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(INSTALLTOP)/lib/engines \
$(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(INSTALLTOP)/lib/pkgconfig \
$(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(INSTALLTOP)/include/openssl \
$(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(OPENSSLDIR)/misc \
$(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(OPENSSLDIR)/certs \
$(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(OPENSSLDIR)/private
[...]
Being able to build from the vanilla sources is a pretty high priority
for me.
