This is a challenging task!

Netclient currently doesn't use the multiplex_controller abstraction on
top of which equeue-ssl is built. So you'll probably have to rewrite
netclient so it uses this abstraction.

Also note that the netclient code is aged, and is hard to understand. It
uses equeues directly, and this makes the code badly structured, at
least the part that deals with the equeues.

But if you see a simple solution I would be very glad to integrate it. I
don't have time to do this in the foreseeable future.
