PQgetssl() doesn't tell you if SSL is supported, it tells you if the
*current connection* is using OpenSSL, which is similar but not the

There is AFAIK no way to tell if SSL support is compiled in. Part of
the patch I posted for GnuTLS support answered this question also
(PQgettlsinfo()).

Have a ncie day,
