Hello,

In the process of maintaining a small IRC client I have written, I'm trying
to add the option to connect over SSL. Of course ensuring valid
certificates and the handshake et al is quite complicated. Instead I'm
attempting to rely on Zodiac's `ZdcSecureSocketStream` instead of a regular
`SocketStream` for the connection.

Here is where I run into a snag: `ZdcSecureSocketStream` is it's own
complete rewrite. And though there are attempts to keep many of the same
messages as `SocketStream`, some of the key ones are missing. In
particular, I would like to have `#upToAll:` and even `nextLine` if
possible. Attempting to subclass and implement them myself has been a
disaster, since `ZdcSecureSocketStream` is actually quite complex.

Can anyone help me with the following:
* Is there a better way to implement an SSL connection over a socket?
* Who maintains Zodiac? How can I contact them?

Thanks
