That's a nicely done patch, I wish I had seen it sooner.

Only suggestion I have would be to make the default protocols & ciphers stronger 
given the current known SSL vulnerabilities.
EG:

sslProtocols = cpystr("ALL -SSLv2 -SSLv3"); /* default protocols */
sslCipherList = cpystr("ALL:!SSLv2:!ADH:!EXP:!LOW:!MD5:@STRENGTH"); /* default cipher list */


A few years ago I'd done something almost the same (creating config file 
parameter parser & matching "GET_name", "SET_name" functions) with a 'place 
holder' for the DH parameter file but no actual SSL code for it.

This evening I threw together the actual DHparameter implementation.

Do you have any interest in merging it?
