Actually, I can't believe that only 0.9.7b will work, but not 0.9.7a or
0.9.7c, so I'd be glad if you could confirm this.

When mentioning libraries, I was talking about compilation options for
multithread support and possible linkage against mt enabled libraries.
Possibly, there are platforms where things are not compiled/linked
correctly, but nobody noticed because ssl connections are rarely used
(at least for admins contacting a local server)
