Question to representatives of various distributions on the lists.

As instead of fix the issues correctly by upgrading to 1.0.1g, you
are patching existing versions of libssl, how can we determine whether
a version of libssl is vulnerable or not at configure time?

As it stands the next versions on all branches will refuse to build 
against libssl 1.0.1-1.0.1f because of the potential security risk.
