So, will it build/run with openssl 0.9.8* or require openssl 1.0.*

We only have openssl 0.9.8* in our environment (with some ancient boxes
using 0.9.7*)

Currently, the latest available is 0.9.8y, since I have DNS only VMs
where I don't have to worry about the newer version causing problems for
other automated (through CFEngine) sun package installs.

And, my clamav instances are also dedicated VMs (well, semi...but
hopefully there won't be a problem with having older 0.9.8 openssl
32-bit libraries with the latest 0.9.8 64-bit libraries :)
