load_builtin_engines in Linux

Hy!

I want to use a Luna HSM with openssl, so I have downloaded the
coresponding patch whic creates an engine and built it (version 0.9.8e).
The problem is, that it is not working, because the engine is not a
dynamic one but a builtin, and the ENGINE_load_lunaca3 function is nowhere
executed. I du through the source code and found the
"load_builtin_engines" function which should do the desired. It is
executed via the apps_startup functions (defined in apps.h) in some
envorinments but not in linux. Is there any particular reason why this is
not done? Can I do any harm, if I just add this function to add_startup in
a standard linux envornment?

cheers
Mathias
