Re: Using SSL docs [patch]

[Philip Van Hoof <spam pvanhoof be>]

I committed it, but please note that this documentation is specific for
the platform dependent libraries: the ones that support the documented
GConf configuration store.

Nothing in tinymail itself forces somebody to use GConf at all. The
platform specific implementations will read this configuration and will
set the options on the account one by one.

The demoui uses whatever platform specific library that was picked. For
example the OLPC one does not use the GConf store, it uses an inifile.
