The define is for a flag that can be passed to some other SSL functions
to turn off the TLSv1_1 support during a single execution, hence the
"NO" in its name.
Because those flags are only defined in OpenSSL versions that include
the thing to turn off (at least if not disabled when compiling OpenSSL
itself), I suggested using the very existence of the flag definition
as a way to determine if the thing is included in the OpenSSL version
where the copy of "ssl.h" was taken from.
