Comment:
Thanks for the patch!
Teor is right -- I'm really glad that openssl is aiming for ABI
compatibility now, but they are still have enough complexity going on that
I'm not confident that they won't mess it up in the future.
With that in mind, I'd suggest a middle-ground message. Let's log at
NOTICE instead of INFO or WARN, and let's say something like "We compiled
with OpenSSL X and we're running with OpenSSL Y. These two versions should
be binary compatible." That way if people do run into bugs some time they
can report that message.
Minor bookkeeping: let's base this on maint-0.3.5 rather than master so
that we can backport it to LTS. We'll also need a "changes" file as
described in doc/HACKING/CodingStandards.md.
