Would you mind not distributing this yet?  I *really* dislike the support
burden that results from having different options and patches in upstream vs
various distributors' versions.

The entire reason I posted that test script was to gather information so I
could try to determine if it was safe to just unconditionally use SNI when
support for it is present; I have no intention (as I mentioned elsewhere in
this thread) of adding a `use_sni` option which 99% of users will not
understand.  There's already way too much cargo-cult software configuration in
the world.

If you're looking for a short-term workaround, tell people to set the SSL
version to TLS 1.2 or below, as also posted elsewhere in this thread.
