I'm afraid I was seeing ghosts. I remember having seen some OpenSSL libraries in the past on a cRIO but currently can't come up with any in the one I have nor in the RT Image files that are used to deploy components to a RT system.
Found it! It's the nissl component. And the libraries are renamed nilibeay32 and nissleay32. And it seems 0.9.8i. Not really very new.
