kgio-monkey 0.1.0 - initial release

Wraps OpenSSL to provide {kgio}[http://bogomips.org/kgio/]-compatible
kgio_trywrite and kgio_tryread IO methods to Kgio::SSL wrapper objects.

== WARNING!!!!!!!!1

This project is NOT maintained nor reviewed by anybody with any
credentials in security nor cryptography, use at your own risk.

Security/code/all reviews are very welcome, email us at
mailto:kgio@librelist.org (or mailto:kgio@bogomips.org if you wish to
remain anonymous).

This project is NOT an endorsement of OpenSSL itself.  This project uses
OpenSSL only because Ruby already bundles the "openssl" extension and we
don't have time to maintain full Ruby bindings for NSS or any another
SSL/TLS library.

I've pushed some changes to the bundled "flipper" code to
kgio-monkey.git.  Flipper is like a stripped-down, single-threaded
version of stunnel that works in both client and server mode (in the
same process).

It's already replaced stunnel for me (imap server and client) and
as an nntp client proxy.  Flipper still lacks tests, but the code
is relatively straightforward and easy to test/break...
Who knows, maybe somebody is reading my email because of bugs
in this, now :<
