OpenSSL 1.1 - don't upgrade (yet)

Hi together,

OpenSSL version 1.1 is out since August 25th (https://www.openssl.org/source/).

* Please do not upgrade yet! *

OpenSSL 1.1 breaks many APIs used by ucspi-ssl and other SW based on previous versions.

At least me, I need to cross-check compatibility with ucspi-0.97.

Probably it is better to wait until TLS (1.3) will incorporate ed25519 (DJB's curve) for ECC ( https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-07) and a subsequent new OpenSSL release supports it.

Best regards.
--eh.
