SSL client and server updates

After having some problems with the wrap-in-ssl function, I decided to rewrite the SSL client code. The result is tcp-ssl-connect, which functions almost exactly like tcp-connect except that it can speak SSL.

Also is the new SSL server implementation, which also acts a lot like the plain tcp server function but it speaks SSL (and takes keyword arguments for setting up your certificates and key).

Check out the new documentation on SSL for an overview. It’s now possible to write clients and servers that use SSL with the same simplicity as writing normal clients/servers.

Please note that the SSL implementation is rather new, and although it’s passing its tests, I expect a few more bugs will pop up until it has a while to stabilize.
