As far as I know, "no, it is not".  Even if it were, depending on it to
be present would probably be a bad idea as there are systems in the
wild that ship older versions of OpenSSL.

Rogaway's page has a link to Krovetz's implementation that can use
OpenSSL for certain internals, it would probably be easiest to look at
that, and use it if suitable.

Out of curiosity, from what I have seen of the code, there's already
code that uses GCM, I'm sort of curious as to why you believe OCB would
be better.
