Hmm. Basically what this is doing is exactly what the comment says we
didn't want to do, namely copy-and-paste the implementations of
OpenSSL's socket BIO functions. How stable is that code? If the
functions haven't changed textually in a long time (at least across all
the OpenSSL versions we claim to support) then maybe it's okay.
