The patch simply makes uses of the fact that (some) OpenSSL version uses a
define to mark its non-support of SSLv2. Presumably the OpenSSL headers you
have installed don't have that define present and then libcurl doesn't spot
this.

I don't know why you would though, or what the exact OpenSSL policy is in
regards to SSLv2 and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL2 define.

I think we should add a check to configure that verifies if
sslv2_client_method is present when OpenSSL has been detected, just to make
really sure that it works and thus not rely only on the define.
