    I think older versions were built with an older OpenSSL and an older
SWIG.  The SWIG preprocessor has some limitations which can cause
errors to be reported during the SWIG preprocessor phase.

    This problem in SWIG has hit other projects.  See

where the Common LISP people had a similar problem.
