-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 When porting libtor-tls to NSS, we'll start with client-side support for
 our TLS features.  This will only have to include originating connections,
 and only with the most recent link handshake.  It won't need any key
 export support at all.

 At this point, we can have "--enable-nss" imply "--disable-openssl", and
 also have it imply that ORPort cannot be set (since you can't be a Tor
 server with this minimal TLS support.)
