        The http://web.mit.edu/teamhtml/Athena/FY97/lynx-cert/main/main.html
writeup is outstanding.  My only concern is that you're planning to use
the USE_SSL compilation symbol, which is for the built-in https, snews and
CONNECT support, and gets you back into those legal issues.  Why not use
a HANDLE_CERTS symbol, so USE_SSL can be reserved for patched in SSL support
beyond certificate handling, per se?
