I'm not sure if it's the right place or not, but I do worry about
adding an error like this.  I mean just the fact that an error
happened in the SSL code is kind of nondescript.  Perhaps adding a few
different errors to cover the various ways the SSL code can fail that
don't map to existing error codes?

A number of apps I have encountered that use SSL hide the original error from you, replacing it with something vague and misleading, and you're off on a wild goose chase.

If possible, it would be cool if the SSL code could return the original underlying SSL error code and/or messages in a structure, in a similar way to how the apr_ldap stuff does. You get an APR_EGENERAL/etc code back, with additional detailed info in a result structure that the app can either display to the client, log somewhere, whatever.
