Christoph Biedl daa88b7651 Fix building ngIRCd with OpenSSL 1.1 
At the moment, ngIRCd fails to build against OpenSSL 1.1 since the
configure check probes for the SSL_library_init symbol which was
removed, but probing for a different function availabe in both versions
solves that problem: SSL_new().

And as SSL_library_init is no longer needed, the patch boils down to
probing SSL_new to assert libssl is available, and disabling the
SSL_library_init invokation from OpenSSL 1.1 on, see also another
application[1] (NSCA-ng) that did pretty much the same.

Patch was compile-tested on both Debian jessie (OpenSSL 1.0.2) and
stretch (OpenSSL 1.1).

(Patch by Christoph, commit message cherry-picked from the email thread
on the mailing list by Alex. Thanks!)

                     ngIRCd - Next Generation IRC Server
                           http://ngircd.barton.de/

               (c)2001-2016 Alexander Barton and Contributors.
               ngIRCd is free software and published under the
                   terms of the GNU General Public License.

                                -- README --


I. Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ngIRCd is a free, portable and lightweight Internet Relay Chat server for
small or private networks, developed under the GNU General Public License
(GPL; please see the file COPYING for details). It is simple to configure,
can cope with dynamic IP addresses, and supports IPv6 as well as SSL. It is
written from scratch and not based on the original IRCd.

The name ngIRCd means next generation IRC daemon, which is a little bit
exaggerated: lightweight Internet Relay Chat server most probably would be a
better name :-)

Please see the INSTALL document for installation and upgrade information!


II. Status
~~~~~~~~~~~

ngIRCd should be quite feature complete and stable to be used as daemon in
real world IRC networks.

It is not the goal of ngIRCd to implement all the nasty behaviors of the
original ircd, but to implement most of the useful commands and semantics
specified by the RFCs that are used by existing clients.


III. Features (or: why use ngIRCd?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Well arranged (lean) configuration file.
- Simple to build, install, configure, and maintain.
- Supports IPv6 and SSL.
- Can use PAM for user authentication.
- Lots of popular user and channel modes are implemented.
- Supports "cloaking" of users.
- No problems with servers that have dynamic IP addresses.
- Freely available, modern, portable and tidy C source.
- Wide field of supported platforms, including AIX, A/UX, FreeBSD, HP-UX,
  IRIX, Linux, Mac OS X, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and Windows with Cygwin.
- ngIRCd is being actively developed since 2001.
