commit c22a3afca46c83ee6d53a6ee58deb122f309c460
Author: Matthias Andree <matthias.and...@gmx.de>

Remove support for SSLv2 (fixes Debian Bug #622054).
SSLv2 has been deprecated since 1996, and is insecure.
Remove --sslproto SSL2 support.
Set SSL_OP_NO_SSLvSSL_CTX 2 option so that the SSLv23 multi-version
client no longer negotiates SSLv2.
Note that some distributions (such as Debian) build OpenSSL 1.0.0
without SSLv2 support, so on those, the build would fail.
Fixes Debian Bug #622054

# CHANGES
+* fetchmail no longer supports SSL v2, nor the corresponding SSL2 option to
+ --sslproto. SSLv2 is insecure and had been deprecated 15 years ago. fetchmail
+ will actively forbid SSLv2 negotiation by means of SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
+ To fix Debian Bug#622054.
* fetchmail now always uses its own MD5 implementation. The library and header
variants are too diverse, and we've been bitten before -- and configure
complains noisily on Cyrus-SASL's RFC1321 md5.h.
