Summary: SSL fix for OpenSSL-0.9.6+

Initial Comment:
With OpenSSL-0.9.6+, the PRNG must be properly seeded
before attempting any SSL operations.  This patch,
courtesy of Greg Wilson  <Greg.Wilson@baltimore.com>,
will call RAND_load_file with the value of the RANDFILE
environment variable.

Andrew, I want a second opinion: is this considered a
feature or a bugfix? I'm leaning in the "feature" direction,
and 2.1 will have this anyway.
