So who uses the cmdline client? How does it get activated? I can't
find any docs anywhere.

Wow! So what I witnessed was merely a *simulation* of the commandline
client? Somebody wrote notification callbacks that look identical to
the commandline client's output?

Another question:

Using the 0.8.1 zip distribution on WinXP, I'm unable to operate
against an SSL server. The checkout dialog box shows me that 'http'
is a valid URL, but as soon as I add an 's' to make 'https', it says
the URL is invalid.

I noticed (somewhere in the codebase, can't find it now) that https is
not inherently discounted. Does this just mean that the subclipse 0.8.1
win32 zip distro was built without neon SSL support? I see ssleay.dll
comes in the zipfile, so maybe there's a configuration problem?
