Comment(by rransom):

 nickm's bug4822_021 is a compile-time version check; we need to do a
 runtime version check.

 This needs to be tested to determine whether a server which uses
 `TLSv1_method` can receive a connection from a client which uses
 `SSLv23_method`.  (When I read the OpenSSL documentation for those, it
 sort of hinted that that would not work.)
