+B<OPENSSL_VERSION_PREREQ> is a useful macro for checking whether the OpenSSL
+version for the headers in use is at least at the given pre-requisite major
+(B<maj>) and minor (B<min>) number or not. It will evaluate to true if the
+header version number (B<OPENSSL_VERSION_MAJOR>.B<OPENSSL_VERSION_MINOR>) is
+greater than or equal to B<maj>.B<min>.
