Here are the open items I found in the current SSL discussion:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

remove the leading dot from file names
find local directory on NT-based systems using SHGetFolderPath()
use "Application Data" or just the user home directory
what to use on Win 9x? no function and no %USERPROFILE%

Win98 has:
TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
PROMPT=$p$g
winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
PATH=C:\;C:\BAT;C:\BIN;C:\SYSTEM;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
windir=C:\WINDOWS

should fall back to non-ssl if no client certificate and 'prefer'?

We do have WIN32_CLIENT_ONLY define if that helps us for Win9X.
