One additional thing ... writing the code to check the version of
OpenSSL is a mild to moderate pain.  It seems like most people are
slowly switching to pkg-config for things like this.  What do people
think of using pkg-config for this?  Openssl 1.0.2 distributes a
pkg-config file so it sure seems like every instance of it would include
it (that would make pkg-config a build-time dependency if you wanted openssl
support, though).
