In ecflow 4.0 we had an option for SSL support. However this was a compile time decision.

It meant that the GUI could not look at SSL and non-SSL servers at the same time.

In ecflow 5.0.1 the default is to allow both to be used, providing the open ssl libraries were found.

Hence we can decide at run time.

export ECF_SSL=1
ecflow_server
ecflow_client --stats

ecflow_server --ssl
ecflow_client --ssl --stats

Additionally ecFlow_ui will be changed , so that the add server dialog, will now prompt the user to signify a SSL enabled server.
