[Pound Mailing List] Crime vulnerability on 2.7f upstream

I am running Pound 2.7f from
https://github.com/goochjj/pound/archive/stage_for_upstream/v2.7f.zip

I am also running openssl version 1.01p from Jul 9, 2015.

I am trying to achieve a better ranking for our SSL support.

I have been able to move up to a C rating but for some reason here are my
results.

I am using the following ciphers: RC4-SHA:HIGH:!ADH:!SSLv2:!AES
I enabled the Disable SSLv3 directive and I have the following also enabled
for the listener:

SSLAllowClientRenegotiation     0
SSLHonorCipherOrder 1

This is after much trial and error.  I thought that this upstream version
disabled TLS compression but it appears to still be active.

Questions:

1)  How can I disable TLS compression?
2)  Can I enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2?
3)  How can I disable support for weak DH key exchanges?
4)  WHy isn't PFS enabled?  I assume the ciphers need fixing?

Thanks,

Rick
