Re: [libvirt] RFC: Compiling out SSL support

Hi.
Attached is the RFC version of patch (against old version of
libvirt) which compiles out support for SSL encryption on libvirt
connections.
It is meant only to provoke a discussion whether such option is
deemed acceptable to libvirt, or it would be a complete waste of
time to rebase this patch to current git and improve it by disabling
other SSL-related functionality.
The motivation behind the change: making possible to configure
libvirt to rely on absolute minimum of other libraries. Resulting
configuration ought to connect to local libvirt daemon through Unix
sockets.
This is desirable, but I never bothered to do it on the old
libvirt RPC code, because it was such a tangled mess that I
thought the resulting #ifdef conditionals would be quite
unpleasant. Your patch shows that it isn't as bad as I thought
it would be.
With our new RPC code, the TLS stuff is quite well separated
from the rest of the code, so I think I'd be happy to accept
a patch to make TLS optional with latest libvirt GIT trees.

Daniel
