I think he meant the OpenSSL versions, though his response is ambiguous
given the question asked.  OpenSSL product names went from SSL to SSL1
to (bizarrely) SSL111, the last of which has an extra "1" if the product
name is expected to persist across binary-compatible releases of
OpenSSL.  If there is something after OpenSSL 1.1.1z before 3.x.x
becomes available, then VSI has created for itself a product name conundrum.

Even now, if you want to find the latest available at build time, you
have to hunt for include files and such based on SSL111, SSL1, and SSL
in sequence.
