That's a good choice and consistent with how we name the variable in most (but not all) places:

	OPENSSL_CTX *libctx;

I volunteer to raise a pull request which does a scripted bulk rename, as soon as we have made
a decision. Ideally, the bulk renaming should go in shortly before the next alpha. Having it
automated by a script would ease rebasing of other still unmerged pull requests over the change.
