[PATCH] Check for OpenSSL 0.9.6e or greater

With the recent vulnerabilities found in OpenSSL, I thought it'd make sense
for Apache to check for OpenSSL 0.9.6e or higher.

Also, I think that check will fail on 0.9.7 which is coming RSN.

And what about patched openssl versions? Given the notorious
binary incompatibility even between minor openssl releases, not
everybody is going to update to the latest version, but patch
the ones they have.
