I notice that where the SSL backend should be generally mentioned, OpenSSL is 
explicitly mentioned. For example:

    Without this option Wget looks for CA certificates at the
    system-specified locations, chosen at OpenSSL installation time.

Some options are OpenSSL-specific, and those are correctly identified. But 
there are other concepts that are common to both OpenSSL and GnuTLS, and maybe 
every other SSL backend out there. These concepts should be explained in 
general terms, without explicitly naming OpenSSL.
