Yes.

You can suggest it, but it won't happen. The sourceforge CVS is near 
enough impossible to work with from sweden, due to a 400ms latency.

I can set them up for public access on oss.op5.se though.

If openssl isn't installed, it requires the --disable-ssl switch. I'm 
not too good with autoconf stuff, but I'll try and fix it as soon as I 
get some spare time on my hands.
