version mismatch macro help

[Michael Richardson]

Last year I tried to provide a macro that would do version checks.
(In fact, I got it wrong in a stupid way)

Today I installed a pre 1.1.1c build in a VM for testing purposes.
What does /usr/sbin/sshd says:

# /usr/sbin/sshd
OpenSSL version mismatch. Built against 1010101f, you have 10101030

Clearly 10101030 >= 1010101f, and the major.minor version match, so there
really shouldn't be an issue.  But openssh seems to have got it wrong, as far
as I can tell.  I will submit a bug report soon.

Can we include a useful macro/test for applications to deal with this
consistently?
