I've patched postgreSQL for SSL (secure socket layer) support. This
is the encryption used by secure web servers and browsers. Useful for
encrypting your postgres connections. Will eventually be useful for
authentication as well.

the patch (for 6.3.2): http://www.chicken.org/pgsql/ssl/pgsqlSSL.patch

SSLeay FAQ: http://psych.psy.uq.oz.au/~ftp/Crypto/

apply the patch, ./configure and make. should pass the regression
tests.

THIS IS A HACK, for functionality only. See the info page for
details. More later.
