This is something I've been contemplating for a while. It would be good to make it optional, I agree. This is currently not easy since the key files ought to be readable for root only and root needs to bind the SSL ports, but after implementing #448 this should become easier.

I implemented #448, and this made the OpenSSL dependency go away mostly; I've copied a few procedures into Spiffy to get rid of the dependency completely.
