* Numeric release version identifier:
* MNNFFPPS: major minor fix patch status
* The status nibble has one of the values 0 for development, 1 to e for betas
* 1 to 14, and f for release. The patch level is exactly that.
* For example:
* 0.9.3-dev 0x00903000
* 0.9.3-beta1 0x00903001
* 0.9.3-beta2-dev 0x00903002
* 0.9.3-beta2 0x00903002 (same as ...beta2-dev)
* 0.9.3 0x0090300f
* 0.9.3a 0x0090301f
* 0.9.4 0x0090400f

To get the above version number, you can all the following function:
#include <openssl/opensslv.h>
#include <openssl/crypto.h>
void ssl_get_version(void) {
printf ("Using OpenSSL version %u\n", OpenSSL_version_num());
}
