Now I think I have it right for CCM too, although having to use
strstr() for that makes me *very* sad. Next up, Chacha20-Poly1305...
and then maybe I can stop worrying about new modes and ciphersuites
because those won't be added in OpenSSL 1.1 and we can get OpenSSL do
to this for itself before 1.2? :)

/* sets the DTLS MTU and returns the actual tunnel MTU */

	maclen = EVP_MD_CTX_size(vpninfo->dtls_ssl->write_hash);
	blocksize = ivlen;
	pad = 1;
#else
	/* Now it gets more fun... */
	const SSL_CIPHER *s_ciph = SSL_get_current_cipher(vpninfo->dtls_ssl);
	const EVP_CIPHER *e_ciph;
	const EVP_MD *e_md;
	char wtf[128];

	e_ciph = EVP_get_cipherbynid(SSL_CIPHER_get_cipher_nid(s_ciph));

	switch (EVP_CIPHER_mode(e_ciph)) {
	case EVP_CIPH_GCM_MODE:
		ivlen = EVP_GCM_TLS_EXPLICIT_IV_LEN;
		maclen = EVP_GCM_TLS_TAG_LEN;
