First of all, three is wrong. There are only two that are valid: latest 1.0 
and latest 1.1. Anything else is not a valid option. You should never release 
any software with an old version of OpenSSL and you must always upgrade it 
when OpenSSL updates.

You need to make sure that the detection is correct. If you try to change 
between 1.0 and 1.1, you need to blow away your Qt build and reconfigure. 
Otherwise, there will be errors. *Especially* with compilers that use crappy 
make tools that don't update the Makefile on their own (read: MSVC).

Once you've configured, please check whether it detected the right version. 
The file mkspecs/modules/qt_lib_network.pr will have "opensslv11" in either 
the "QT.network.enabled_features" or "QT.network.disabled_features" variable.
