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.
