That strikes me as a little nannyish -- and not just because I'm still
running against OpenSSL 0.9.7, since I'm still on Debian Sarge until
I get a chance to upgrade and I want my package to continue working on
other such installs for the time being.

A warning at compile- and run-time is entirely reasonable. Refusing to
verify is also reasonable, assuming the administrator has an option to
override that. Creating such an option may well not be worth the (likely
small) effort required, though, since the problem will only shrink.
