[Pythonmac-SIG] Another build question: ssl?

Anybody know how to build Python for MacOS X with socket.ssl support? 
Ideally I'd like to compile the framework build of Python 2.2.2 under 
MacOS X 10.2. The default way of doing it (as documented in 
/Mac/OSX/README) works but doesn't seem to include ssl support. If 
that's not reasonable, then I am willing to go with the normal unix 
build instead.

Also, anybody tried to use this combo (with or without ssl) with 
PostgreSQL? I tried building PostgreSQL from source and the make 
fails if I try to build it with python support. I have thought of a 
few things to try (such as seeing if I could find a separate 
PostgreSQL Python interface and attaching it to a non-Python 
PostgreSQL) but I figured I'd see if anybody had any wisdom on the 
subject before flailing around too much.
