True, there are 
https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Command_Line_Utilities
https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Enc
https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Command_Line_Elliptic_Curve_Operations
but they're not exactly brimming with examples...

That being said, I think Tom was interested in library use, not 
application use, given that static compilation of the `openssl` binary 
is the default behaviour of configure scripts and it doesn't require 
installation to use.
