Has anyone found a way to call SSL_connect with a non-blocking socket? I need 
to be able to do this so I don't have to start a separate thread. Instead I 
would like to monitor socket activity with select() and the writing set. More 
accurately, I want to be able to do the following:

1. Create a socket using socket().
2. Make the socket non-blocking with fcntl().
3. Bind the server's listen address and port to the socket with bind().
4. Start the TCP connection process with connect(). Fail with EWOULDBLOCK.
5. Wait for socket activity with select() and the writing set. Other 
asynchronous events can be dispatched during this time.
6. When this socket becomes active in the writing set, somehow use this socket 
with a BIO provided to SSL_connect(). This is the part I don't know how to do.
7. Wait for socket activity using select() and the reading set, then use 
SSL_read() and/or SSL_write() as indicated by SSL_get_error().
