A further addendum when I add the DEPRECATED flag is

In file included from tls.c:120:
tls-openssl.c: In function `rsa_callback':
tls-openssl.c:247: `RSA_F4' undeclared (first use in this function)
tls-openssl.c:247: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
tls-openssl.c:247: for each function it appears in.)
tls-openssl.c:247: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast

Fun stuff now that Openssl wants to fix
security flaws.
