[Python-Dev] socketmodule with SSL enabled

[Andy Dustman]

I had to make the following one-line change to socketmodule.c so that it
would link properly with openssl-0.9.4. In studying the openssl include
files, I found:

#define SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms()   SSL_library_init()

SSL_library_init() seems to be the "correct" call nowadays. I don't know
why this isn't being picked up. I also don't know how well the module
works, other than it imports, but I sure would like to try it with
Zope/ZServer/Medusa...
