Having PSM work with profile switching is part of the plan.
What is in (my local tree) are changes to PSMGlue which registers it as
a profile observer. When it gets notified that the profile is changing,
it shuts down the PSMEventLoop thread. This causes the server side to
exit. Next time a secure connection is needed, a new PSM control
connection is established just like the first time. This is unfortunate
but the only time at which the profile dir can be specifed is at the
CMT_Hello call.
This was working at some point. Recently, it stopped working - at least
on Mac. It will be working soon - let's hope.
In PSM 2.0, there should be a simple way of having PSM change to a new
profile dir without all this tricky stuff.
