i wanted to try my packaging for these, so just added sqlite3 for
subsurface to build.
i may be having ISP issues as i can't ping divelogs.de and the
subsurface error is:
"Connection terminated unexpectedly"

an interesting post here:
http://yvibha.wordpress.com/2011/02/10/ssl-connection-with-libsoup/

the libsoup version i'm using is libsoup_2.26.3-1_win32 from the gnome
ftp, which means that this is an old version and the SSL support
should be transparent (/built-in).

for the Qt build. i think Qt's SSL implementation should be used
instead of libsoup.
