FYI, The reason that MOD_TLS exists on NetWare is because all of the SSL support
is embedded in our Winsock layer. MOD_TLS doesn't actually do any encryption or
contain any encryption code. It simply an enabling module that makes a WSAIoctl()
call to tell Winsock to enable SSL on a given port. From then on as far as Apache is
concerned, the rest is just magic. It exists only on NetWare because as far as we are
aware, NetWare is the only OS that ships with SSL functionality built in. Rather than
reimplementing SSL through a module such as MOD_SSL, it is simply much easier for us
to let the OS handle it. As it stands, we will probably end up doing the same thing
for Apache 2.0

This is _1.3_ mod_tls, which only exists in Netware. I've never figured
out why it was in there. I never much liked the idea, but whatever.
