Heikki Linnakangas 9b7cd59af1 Remove support for OpenSSL versions older than 0.9.8.
OpenSSL officially only supports 1.0.1 and newer. Some OS distributions
still provide patches for 0.9.8, but anything older than that is not
interesting anymore. Let's simplify things by removing compatibility code.

Andreas Karlsson, with small changes by me.
