Oh i'm not complaining on that, error handling is always weird,
and i think strings like

  error:140D00CF:SSL routines:SSL_write:protocol is shutdown

are hard (not only to parse) for users but there is a lot of
information for good in very few bytes; sad is

  Received SIGPIPE during IMAP operation
  IMAP write error: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0)

but as i think for most (Open)SSL related problems this is all my
/ our fault, users should not be bothered with that.
Strings are intransparent for application programmers, but myriads
of error enumerations can be too.  Whatever.

Regarding #3625: i think no user (that made it so far at first
glance, which maybe even required buying a book and reading
a lot!) would expect an error for saying "-SSLv2".
But since it was an accidental oversight and the _OP_NO_SSLv2 is
still defined (what i didn't even look for after reading the
commit message) i think it'll be ok anyway once committed and this
can be closed?
Ciao,
