Wvstreams is a library suite that is comprised of several parts. included in the extras package are:
* wvipstreams: which includes wvtcpstream and wvudpstream
* wvcrypto streams: a really easy way to add ssl support to applications
these are the base classes used to build programs such as the ever popular wvdial, tunnelvision, fastforward, kwvdial, retchmail, and many more yet to come. ;)
