I have nothing against nsnss and NSPR/NSS, but I've spent a lot of time
working with/on nsopenssl and OpenSSL, and would appreciate more
eyeballs on the combo.

Of course, maybe this is foolish: if nsnss and NSPR/NSS are rock solid
and don't have all the (annoying) problems that nsopenssl has, maybe we
should just ditch nsopenssl entirely and go to nsnss.  Any opinions from
folks who have tried nsnss?

No ... please don't.  It makes debugging other people's problems much
harder if they're running stripped binaries.

Include the documentation -- it can't possibly be contributing that much
in terms of space, since it's all plaintext.

It's absolutely not a kludge: matter of fact, I think Debian Linux
requires that paths not be burned into binaries with -R so that they can
be relocated with LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
