I updated it, and added a note to contrib/README: ssl.el Obsolete interface to OpenSSL. Completely replaced by lisp/tls.el, which supports both GnuTLS and OpenSSL. This file will be removed eventually. When we get more success reports for tls.el (using various versions of OpenSSL and GnuTLS), and we are confident that it completely supersede ssl.el, we could remove ssl.el. Thanks!
