Hmm, while thinking about it: the correct macro substution should therefore
be "Free()" instead of "free()", as we must make sure that the correct
memory handling function (CRYPTO_free()) is being called:

/* OPENSSL_free() is only available in OpenSSL 0.9.6 onwards */
#if !defined(OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER) || (OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x0090600f)
# define OPENSSL_free(x) Free(x)
#endif
