Where to copy custom openssl engine library in openssl 1.1.0

You can ask the openssl app where it goes looking for engines by
default.  Here's what it looks like with the installed openssl on my
machine:

    : ; openssl version -e
    ENGINESDIR: "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/engines-1.1"

Note that engines aren't agnostic to the OpenSSL version...

Cheers,
Richard
