In the OpenSSL source directory, you do:

patch -p1 < /path/to/openssl-tls-extensions.patch

and then you rebuild OpenSSL, then you rebuild wpa_supplicant against
the new OpenSSL.  Then, you email upstream OpenSSL and ask them nicely
what the status of the patch is and why it (or something that provides
the same functionality) isn't upstream yet :)  We all want it to go
upstream to OpenSSL, but they have been pretty reluctant for some
reason.
