Essentially the upstream deimos modules for openssl and libevent no longer
work, and we need to move to something else for secure and for non-blocking
modes. I think there's probably a better D crypto lib we can use, but I'm not
sure about libevent. In any case, there hasn't been much of an uproar from
folks about these things not working.---
