[boost] secure asio using ssl

Hi All,

We would like to make the remark we created a first version of a secure 
(ssl/tls) extension to ASIO.

It's use should be regarded as an extension to ASIO and configurable 
with the type of ssl  a user has.

 From the test code (the server):

#define HAS_OPENSSL
#include <asio.hpp>

When the server accepts a connection it then calls handle_accept to 
secure the socket:

  void handle_accept(const asio::error& error) 
  {
    if (!error)
      {
        std::cout << "server connected..." << std::endl;

        // Secure the connection
        socket_.async_secure(
            boost::bind(&impl::handle_secure, this, asio::arg::error)
          );

After that it's a matter of async_recv/send - but the connection now is 
secure.

the variable needed is:

  asio::tls_socket socket_;

Additions to ASIO are:

basic_secure_socket.hpp
detail/openssl_crypto_initializer.hpp
detail/openssl_secure_service.hpp
detail/openssl_secure_session.hpp

(And (to a lesser extent) the same for GnuTls.)

Our question is, can we donate this to (boost::)asio?

And if so, how do we approach this?

Cheers, Dirk
