Re: SSL for JDBC

Tarjei,

I just committed a set of changes that adds SSL support in the driver.
This was committed to cvs head. I have attached the diff which
shouldn't be too difficult to backpatch to 7.3 sources.

thanks,
--Barry

PS. Later tonight I will post a new development build to the
jdbc.postgresql.org website (build 202) that includes these changes.
