Not that it makes any practical difference, but
"openssl s_client -connect unixunanimous.org:443" followed by
"HEAD / HTTP/1.0\n\n" reports

    Server: Apache/2.2.23 (FreeBSD) DAV/2 mod_fastcgi/2.4.6 mod_ssl/2.2.23 OpenSSL/0.9.8q

so it looks like the site's actually using 0.9.8q, released December
2012--much newer than that decrepit old May 2012 release.

(Both OpenSSL 0.9.8 and OpenSSL 1.0.x were maintained for a few years;
it's not uncommon to have both packages installed on the same system.  I
don't know exactly when mod_ssl started supporting OpenSSL 1.0.x, but
I'm guessing it was after the last time Apache was compiled.)

Probably for the best.  :-)
