+OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT is the text variant of the version number and the
+release date.  For example,
+"OpenSSL 1.0.1a 15 Oct 2015".

 SSLeay() returns this number. The return value can be compared to the
 macro to make sure that the correct version of the library has been
 loaded, especially when using DLLs on Windows systems.
