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

I can tell about Windows; I must build OpenSSL library with MinGW because 
GRASS and QGIS (built with MinGW, along with all the other libraries, 
including PostgreSQL and SQLite) don't agree with Visual Studio built 
libraries. That means that I cannot enable OpenSSL support in PostgreSQL and 
SQLite since I build OpenSSL with MinGW. This is a task in my to-do list for 
WinGRASS-6.3.0-5 (or 6.4.0) and QGIS 1.0.
