It should be very straightforward -- either implementing purely from
the protocol spec (http://home.netscape.com/info/SSL.html) or licensing
sslref (a low flat-fee arrangement -- contact me for more info if you're
interested) are both viable and low-effort approaches.

Please feel free to use sslref to whatever extent it's useful -- I'd
personally love to be able to do SSL connections within Lemacs.

Yup -- again, should be very straightforward.
