Note that I intentionally wrote 'build without problems'. So far, I  
haven't been able to successfully run the upsd server with NSS instead  
of OpenSSL. Most likely this is due to not understanding how the  
certificate system works with NSS. At the moment, the  
SSL_init_library() call bombs out rather ungracefully with exit(1) (no  
error message logged). Most likely, the underlying NSS_Init(certDir)  
call fails. I guess I need to setup a certificate store (?) somehow.  
And we'll sure need to make this a more descriptive error message... :-)

Best regards, Arjen

PS Steep learning curve ahead... :-)
