   Evidently it can be done. Check out Alex Tang's "The Neverending 
Saga of Deploying a Free SSL Compliant Web Server"

   https://petrified.cic.net/~altitude/ssl/ssl.saga.html

   He did it with SSLeay (the same package Secure Apache uses) 
and the NCSA server. But it was far from easy and it's still 
a "Non-Profit Only" certificate. 

   His site has *all* the gory details--and he names names. 

   (BTW, when I connect to that URL I get a blue stripe and 
a double-toothed key in Netscape.)
