Urrgghh - no ssl support on Windows :-(. I assume this is not a trivial
thing to fix?

I'm not sure I agree with leaving the patch off though - leaving the
code intentionally broken is not a nice way to disable an unsupported
feature, especially when the patch has nothing to do with the reasons
for not including said feature.
