My project's code is apparently compatible with OpenSSL 0.9.7g (and
possibly higher) but not 0.9.8 (because the header file changed from 0.9.7
and 0.9.8...which seems rather undesirable).
In any case, I'd like our autoconf macros to be able to automatically check
to see if 0.9.7g and higher is
httpd's scripts are known to the autoconf community as gross bastardizations
of intent of autoconf, so forwared ;-) But they do illustrate verifying the
version of openssl, take a look at APACHE_CHECK_SSL_TOOLKIT in;

constant, you could check it. (return 0 on success, 1 on error, I
believe is autoconf's concept.)
Note that I haven't looked into autoconf for about six years,
