How about simply changing the 'use' variable from a boolean to a state
variable with values such as:

  NONE
  NEGOTIATION

(Notably, all non-openssl libs would never be in the middle state since they
do the "negotiate" phase blocking.)

Would you be able to take a stab at introducing something like this?
