Major pgpool developers in my company have been busy these days in
developing pgpool-II 2.0, whch is expected to be released in this
November. Unfortunately SSL supported will not be in 2.0 due to time
constraint (they are paid for developing pgpool and their time are
limited by our budget).

Unless someone come up with volunteering in developing SSL support, or
offering to sponsor the work, I don't think SSL support becomes reality
in the near future. Sorry for this.
