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.
