Aren't these files part of openssl?

Tinc 1.1 (git) has a src/openssl/ecdh.h, but this says:

#ifndef __TINC_ECDH_H__
#define __TINC_ECDH_H__

#include <openssl/ecdh.h>
...

And this is where his compile breaks.

Here:

$ dpkg -S /usr/include/openssl/ecdh.h
libssl-dev: /usr/include/openssl/ecdh.h
$ dpkg -S /usr/include/openssl/ec.h
libssl-dev: /usr/include/openssl/ec.h

(Btw, seems a bad idea for a filename to be the same as one part of a 
required library, but should not create more than confusion ;)

Could it be that his openssl is too old and this feature needs something 
newer?

(No idea when ECDH support was added to openssl)
