The other methods will go away in the future because people misuse
them.  You really should only use the SSLv23_* methods.

Your users don't have a need to support a specific method that
only supports a given protocol.  What they might need is to be
able to limit the supported versions.  As I said you should use
SSL_set_options() for that.
