Steve,

I definitely appreciate your time and I might have completely messed this one
up, but when compiling OpenVPN, or OpenCA, their builds actually use the bash
command line to validate the openssl version, e.g.:

[code]
~$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.0e 6 Sep 2011
[/code]

Or in the version I recompiled for FIPS/Acceptable for build:

[code]
~$ openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.8 xx XXX xxxx FIPS Object Module v1.2
[/code]

I'll also agree that that's not probably the preferred way of checking at make
time, but it's what I have to work with.

Although I'm not familiar with the latest version of OpenSSL, I do believe that
returns the text value from opensslv.h

Here's hoping I'm wrong.  In any case, any change during the testing, including
one as silly and risk-free as this one is grounds for the certification process
to start all over.  Changing the text might be something better done now than
after the certification
