Hey,

I've had a quick look at ruby-curb's rdepends, and while it does
appear expose CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_* (see #1), opennebula does not
appear to use that.
I'm also unsure on how providing a ruby function in there would even
work.

I don't think any of that makes sense for ruby-curb.

In a later stage of the release cycle there will be a ruby
transition anyway, which will also include a rebuild of ruby-curb.

Thanks for the heads up.
