If I am mistaken, OpenSSL 0.9.8 shuld have support for the SNI
extension.  It also supports using SSL_CTX_set_options() to set the
SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option, which is likely the simplest way to ensure that
SSLv2 is not used.

These days one should probably also disable SSLv3 (via SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2),
but even with that, there are likely some unaddressed security defects
in OpenSSL 0.9.8 that make it unwise to continue using it in general.
