Yes, I was trying to unwind my UTF-8 setup and get back to straight iso-8859,
which failed miserably.  My Apple devices will only post UTF-8 - so I've
restored my xlats and back to UTF-8 reading and posting.

Thus my box is good again:

Well,  I started off just adding in TLS, however; after working with the code
for a week, I realized just how much I could improve the flow.  So I went nuts
and started getting rid polling loops, which I hate and unreliable with a TLS
session. Building a polling loop with select() is bad practice, select is
supposed to allow a thread to sleep while waiting for something to do, although
it has been used by many a program to is it something is ready to do.  Years of
working with high performance computing has taught me that you only need CPU
time when there is something to do, otherwise you just waste cycles.  So, I
continue to work on the code, looking for improvements in flow.

As for an ebuild, that would need someplace to host the source and someone
crazy enough to make one. :)
