congrats!

these are now available, in either PDF or OpenOffice formats:

tested functionnality by functionnality in each

thanks a lot for your much appreciated contribution Emilien.

As pointed in the initial Alioth task, this will allow to solve a long
standing distribution issue, that prevented at least Debian based system,
and quite probably many others, from shipping NUT with SSL feature enabled
by default.

This will be integrated at worst for 2.8, but I'll check if we can consider
inclusion in the next point release.

Special thanks to Eaton too, who sponsored the development of this feature.

cheers,
Arnaud
