[erlang-questions] Calling openssl from erlang

[Sverker Eriksson]

This is what application crypto does; acts as a interface toward 
libcrypto in OpenSSL.
I can't see that crypto calls PKCS7_encrypt however.

To return pointers from NIF to erlang you probably want to use the 
resource concept in the NIF interface.
