AFAIK, the free implementations of SSL still conflict with the U.S. Patent
by RSA. Last time I checked, you couldn't even include hooks to an SSL
library w/o conflicting with the patent. (This is why HTTPS is not
included as a method in the W3C's free libwww package.)
I think we want an external transport mechanism anyway--no one's going to
want to write modules for things like WAIS or WAIS++, but there are
programs written to retrieve URIs for these methods.
