   No I don't.  We already went over this in private mail.  I suggest  
that we implement KIO's SSL as needed, and you put an interface for  
what you need there.  Then you can implement it outside, not drag in  
any dependencies, and not affect implementation inside KIO.  You can  
use QCA or whatever you want then.
