 Indeed, on previous openssl versions, des-ede3 was an alias for
triple des with cbc mode.
 The problem now is that ruby uses its own shared library (openssl.dll
/openssl.so). And openssl doesn't seem to come with any file named
openssl.dll/.so, so I don't know how to upgrade this now, especially
on Windows. :?
