If you are using OpenSSL then you must pass in the native sockets to the OpenSSL \
BIOs.  The BIOs as they are called are the abstracted version of the I/O descriptor \
used to access the socket by the SSL library.  

You are not going to get out of coding for the platform specific connection/listen, \
you still need WinSock and socket()/accept() calls.  See the BIO_new_socket man page.

Fred Crable
