I would like to only support python-2.7 as that would make a few other
things easier but the powers that be think otherwise, I unfortunately
need to target python-2.6.

My code already has a try... except block that tries the
ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION approach first but I wanted to have a fallback
method that works with python-2.6. Looks like I may need to hardcode
certain things.
