Ok to install?  ssl.el is not part of Emacs, but tls.el is.  The API
is similar, but I don't believe tls.el has the bug that is mentioned
in the comment below.  Is anyone using ERC with ssl.el and can test
this?  It is supposed to be backwards compatible, and uses s_client if
gnutls-cli is not available.
