Didn't see any compelling reason to keep it. It seems to me that the
SSL issue that Roger was pointing at could be solved either through a
different apache config, or something that we could fix (and might
have already fixed) in civetweb. As a first go I think we should still
keep the code around but not build it for Luminous.
