Replying to [comment:26 fermenthor]:
> The problem with version checking is that rpms from redhat will continue
to patch the openssl header with OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER 0x10000003 for ABI
compatibility. Even if you build on fedora with openssl-1.0.0f-1, Tor will
not use the counter mode.
That's unfortunate but IMO something we can tolerate; such platforms won't
get the improved performance till they eventually upgrade to a version
with an accurate OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER. I would welcome a patch that did
the testing at runtime, but I don't think I'm going to have time to write
one myself on a timeframe for inclusion in 0.2.3.x. Any other takers?
