Make it able to be done by any arbitrary elisp function.  From the point of 
view of the NSA, having an external function or a DLL/script do the munging 
is equivalent.  It is still a 'hook' for some 3rd party to do the
encryption.

Technically, ssl.el is illegal. :)

Remember, the NSA made the NCSA Mosaic guys take out there PGP & HTTP
hybrid because they used an external process to deal with it.
