Sorry for late reponse, but I finally managed to get some time to
look into the SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto() / SSL_CTX_set1_curves_list()
support in yet-to-be-released OpenSSL 1.0.2.

Comments about the patch below, in no particular order:

- Suggested code doesn't seem to allow to use the default list of
curves, as normally available with just a call to
SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(); this seems to be what OpenSSL
recommends to use by default, and we may want to follow.

- Error messages in the ngx_ssl_ecdh_curve() are way off from
what's normally used in ngx_event_openssl.c, and probably
it's not a good idea to use similar messages in the new code.

- If nginx was compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.2, but used with an
older version, things will not work at all; this is not something
completely unacceptable, but it's something we may want to
avoid.

- SSL_CTX_set_options(SSL_OP_SINGLE_ECDH_USE) is not used
with OpenSSL 1.0.2, and this looks just wrong.
