This patch attempts to outline the supported level of SSL within libpq. 

I haven't mentioned any of
~/.postgresql/{root.crt,postgresql.crt,postresql.key} even though they
are checked for in the code, since they do not appear to be supported. I
base this on discussions in pgsql-hackers.

Please note that <acronym>SSL</> support in libpq covers
encryption only. It will not verify the validity of the
certificate presented by the server that you are connecting to,
nor verify that the hostname matches that of the server's
certificate. Additionally, there is no support for client
certificates.
