This is what we pull in from the OpenSSL headers. It may be a
rough guide to what we use:

#include <openssl/bio.h>
#include <openssl/blowfish.h>
#include <openssl/bn.h>
#include <openssl/cast.h>
#include <openssl/crypto.h>
#include <openssl/des.h>
#include <openssl/dh.h>
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
#include <openssl/err.h>
#include <openssl/evp.h>
#include <openssl/hmac.h>
#include <openssl/md5.h>
#include <openssl/pem.h>
#include <openssl/rand.h>
#include <openssl/rc4.h>
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
#include <openssl/sha.h>

Note that quite a few of the OpenSSL files have #define controlled
space/time optimisation tradeoffs (e.g the loop unrolling in the RC4
implementation).
