[Qgis-user] SSL Support in QGIS Builds, esp. Windows and MacOSX

[William Kyngesburye]

On OSX, at least the way I and Tom package our builds, the postgres  
client library is bundled in the Qgis application, so there is no need  
to worry about whether they are available in the system or not.   
Windows builds may do the same.

For the SSL libraries, those are part of the standard OSX system, no  
worries there.  I don't know about Windows.

All generalizations are dangerous, even this one.
