Hmm, that last part would mean that Python 3.7 will no longer compile
on e.g. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS which uses OpenSSL 1.0.1 as default version.
Since 14.04 LTS is supported until 2019, I think it would be better
to only start requiring 1.0.2 in Python 3.8.

BTW: Are there any features in 1.0.2 that we need and would warrant
dropping support for 1.0.1 earlier than Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ?
