OpenSSL has broken ABI in the past without a .soname bump. Very 
annoying. That does not make it your business to hard-code a version 
number into the application IMO.

Let's say the OpenSSL guys get really clued up all of a sudden, and/or 
LibreSSL takes off. Assume that the ABI via the .soname becomes really 
solid, but the version number starts to increment rapidly. Not 
impossible. I shouldn't have to re-compile FreeRADIUS to take advantage 
of that.

I don't think applications should be enforcing this, full stop. I don't 
expect you'll agree with me, but never mind.
