pythonssl_amissl5

Version 2.5

This is a build of the _ssl.so python module missing
from the current version of python supplied with 
AmigaOS (4.1 FE Update 1)

It intended as a temporary and unofficial fix only.

This build has been linked against AmiSSL rather than against 
libopenssl. This has some advantages in so far as there won't be any
problems tracking down the relavent opennssl sobjs but it did
require to build replacement socket and select modules.
