Yeah, the cleanup of the code related to OpenSSL 0.9.8 and 1.0.0 was
rather limited, which was disappointing, so I am still hesitating in
merging that into the tree.  Doing more cleanup with the past Python
versions gives a good extra argument though, so I'll send a notice on
the OpenSSL thread here:
