+/* ssl_client makes it easier to open SSL connections to servers. (It
+ doesn't offer SSL server functionality yet, but it could be useful
+ to add it later.) Different ssl_client modules are available, and
+ ssl_client tries to make them all behave the same. It's very simple
+ and basic, it just imitates the proxy_connect() function from the
+ Gaim libs and passes the socket to the program once the handshake
+ is completed. */
