Correct the description of SSL/TLS-related flags to match their modern |
| 2 |
use. USE=ssl is a feature flag that enables support for SSL/TLS, |
| 3 |
while USE=gnutls and USE=libressl are implementation toggling flags. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Unify the descriptions a bit. Make sure to mention both SSL and TLS |
| 6 |
to avoid confusion. Inform about the necessity of enabling USE=ssl |
| 7 |
in both implementation flags, and replace 'might' with 'if present'. |
