Richard Levitte 6a919b44f7 Have a shared library version thats reasonable with our version scheme
The FAQ says this:

    After the release of OpenSSL 1.0.0 the versioning scheme changed. Letter
    releases (e.g. 1.0.1a) can only contain bug and security fixes and no
    new features. Minor releases change the last number (e.g. 1.0.2) and
    can contain new features that retain binary compatibility. Changes to
    the middle number are considered major releases and neither source nor
    binary compatibility is guaranteed.

With such a scheme (and with the thinking that it's nice if the shared
library version stays on track with the OpenSSL version), it's rather
futile to keep the minor release number in the shared library version.
The deed already done with OpenSSL 1.0.x can't be changed, but with
1.x.y, x=1 and on, 1.x as shared library version is sufficient.

* Numeric release version identifier:
* MNNFFPPS: major minor fix patch status
* The status nibble has one of the values 0 for development, 1 to e for betas
* 1 to 14, and f for release. The patch level is exactly that.
* For example:
* 0.9.3-dev 0x00903000
* 0.9.3-beta1 0x00903001
* 0.9.3-beta2-dev 0x00903002
* 0.9.3-beta2 0x00903002 (same as ...beta2-dev)
* 0.9.3 0x0090300f
* 0.9.3a 0x0090301f
* 0.9.4 0x0090400f
* 1.2.3z 0x102031af
*
* For continuity reasons (because 0.9.5 is already out, and is coded
* 0x00905100), between 0.9.5 and 0.9.6 the coding of the patch level
* part is slightly different, by setting the highest bit. This means
* that 0.9.5a looks like this: 0x0090581f. At 0.9.6, we can start
* with 0x0090600S...
*
* (Prior to 0.9.3-dev a different scheme was used: 0.9.2b is 0x0922.)
* (Prior to 0.9.5a beta1, a different scheme was used: MMNNFFRBB for
* major minor fix final patch/beta)

* The macros below are to be used for shared library (.so, .dll, ...)
* versioning. That kind of versioning works a bit differently between
* operating systems. The most usual scheme is to set a major and a minor
* number, and have the runtime loader check that the major number is equal
* to what it was at application link time, while the minor number has to
* be greater or equal to what it was at application link time. With this
* scheme, the version number is usually part of the file name, like this:
*
* libcrypto.so.0.9
*
* Some unixen also make a softlink with the major verson number only:
*
* libcrypto.so.0
*
* On Tru64 and IRIX 6.x it works a little bit differently. There, the
* shared library version is stored in the file, and is actually a series
* of versions, separated by colons. The rightmost version present in the
* library when linking an application is stored in the application to be
* matched at run time. When the application is run, a check is done to
* see if the library version stored in the application matches any of the
* versions in the version string of the library itself.
* This version string can be constructed in any way, depending on what
* kind of matching is desired. However, to implement the same scheme as
* the one used in the other unixen, all compatible versions, from lowest
* to highest, should be part of the string. Consecutive builds would
* give the following versions strings:
*
* 3.0
* 3.0:3.1
* 3.0:3.1:3.2
* 4.0
* 4.0:4.1
*
* Notice how version 4 is completely incompatible with version, and
* therefore give the breach you can see.
*
* There may be other schemes as well that I haven't yet discovered.
*
* So, here's the way it works here: first of all, the library version
* number doesn't need at all to match the overall OpenSSL version.
* However, it's nice and more understandable if it actually does.
* The current library version is stored in the macro SHLIB_VERSION_NUMBER,
* which is just a piece of text in the format "M.m.e" (Major, minor, edit).
* For the sake of Tru64, IRIX, and any other OS that behaves in similar ways,
* we need to keep a history of version numbers, which is done in the
* macro SHLIB_VERSION_HISTORY. The numbers are separated by colons and
* should only keep the versions that are binary compatible with the current.
