Because those are defined by OpenSSL and not Qt? If you use an OpenSSL where
they are not defined Qt will still not used SSL2 or SSL3 by default unless you
force it. If you build with OpenSSL without (which is the most common), you
can't even force Qt to use it, but it still doesn't change the default.
