Use SSLv23_method() (or SSLv23_client_method() if you prefer) and disable
unwanted protocols via the SSL_OP_NO_<someversion> macros, making sure to
disable each of SSLv2, SSLv3, ... up to some last protocol version you
want to disable without leaving any gaps.  That is don't make the mistake
of disabling SSLv2 and TLSv1 while leaving SSLv3 enabled which creates
"holes" in the range of supported protocols (in this case TLSv1 is a "hole"
between SSLv3 and TLSv1.1).
