this parameter was not available in 8.2.x when I tested so what
I say here has little basis. 

1. no equal sign?
2. isn't this a list of values to choose from so should it be:
     ssl_ciphers='ALL' ???
3. the doc does not say what happens if the the guy is commented
   out: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/runtime-config-connection.html#GUC-SSL-CIPHERS
   I wonder what the default is?
4. the doc: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/ssl-tcp.html
   says: "a list of ciphers can be specified" which makes it sound
   optional, but again, I'm without clue.

Well, I think when I did it with 8.2 it was by trial and error in 
a test environment.  I just kept changing stuff and kept a 
matrix of where I had been.  There is a finite number of things
to change.  It might be good to make a list of possible 
variable/values.  I've not done that, but it might be good
for us to try to construct a howto.
