Which reminds me... the socketmodule in Python 2.0 has some very
simple support for SSL.  See Modules/Setup for how to compile it; 2.1
alphas should detect OpenSSL and turn on SSL support automatically.
However, I've been looking at the code recently and am not too
favorably impressed with it; I'll argue for dropping it from 2.1.  SSL
is a big API and the code in socketmodule.c only provides very basic
things.
