There's a lot of conditional code in _ssl.c, meant to address the unavailability of some features in old OpenSSL versions. I think for 3.5 we should require at least 0.9.8 (which is already old), and consequently remove some of those conditionals.

+1, This sounds completely reasonable to do to me.

Note that this change causes _ssl.so builds to fail on at least one buildbot, the OS X Tiger one, where the system OpenSSL version is 0.9.7.  I've asked the buildbot owner to consider installing a local copy of a current OpenSSL.  There may be other buildbots affected.
