"require features" is something that will come with openssl 3.0, there will
be no version anymore.


anyway, I can install for example openssl-1.1.0 without APLN support.
version is not very good indicator (and we try to
use features in ifdef wherever possible)



as for current failures, as a short term solution, I think we can merge
patch and figure out "feature" approach later.
