I don't think that there are any technical reasons (at least that I am aware of) why a "native" (non-Linux based) SSL server and services couldn't be done for VM. I think it's just an issue of finding the person-power (and that means the $$$) to do it. And we're aways asking IBM for a lot of other cool neat things for VM too.
