Minimum OpenSSL requirements for mod_md

Hi all,

it seems our relatively new module mod_md needs at last OpenSSL 1.0.0 
initial release. When building against latest 0.9.8zh I get linking 
errors due to missing symbols:

Looking at the header files coming with OpenSSL 1.0.0 it looks like 
atleast those symbols are there, so mod_md might work with it.

Should we document that requirement somehow, because our non-mod_md 
OpenSSL requirement is still at 0.9.8a. IMHO there's no need to "fix" 
the higher requirement in mod_md, because it is pretty fresh and 
probably there's no need to support it with ancient OpenSSL.

Regards,

Rainer

Yes, of course. Requirements differing from the general ones have to be
added to the documentation. This should be no big deal. Just make it
prominent somewhere where people read if before the installation :-)
