Initial import of ucspi-ssl, a set of command-line tools for SSL
client-server applications. They conform to the UNIX Client-Server Program Interface, UCSPI. sslserver listens for connections, and runs a program for each connection it accepts. The program environment includes variables that hold the local and remote host names, IP addresses, and port numbers. sslserver offers a concurrency limit on acceptance of new connections, and selective handling of connections based on client identity. sslclient requests a connection to a TCP socket, and runs a program. The program environment includes the same variables as for sslserver. The "tls" option applies Scott Gifford's patch to implement UCSPI-TLS in sslserver.
