Created GitHub issues for these:
https://github.com/gambit/gambit/issues/284 , "Implement userland ports."
https://github.com/gambit/gambit/issues/285 , "Move the SSL logic out of Gambit, as to keep Gambit lean and secure. (Prerequisite: Userland ports)"
Obviously these are my suggestions and not set in stone or anything.
Any yay/nay-ing appreciated.
