Libressl doesn't "emulate" OpenSSL.  It is a derivative of OpenSSL with a focus 
on better architecture and security.  The reason for SSLv2_client_method and et 
al not being part of Libressl is that they were deprecated and eventually 
removed because they're inherently insecure.  Qt should stop using them (even 
with OpenSSL).
