SSL_ERROR_WANT_LOOKUP can only appear on client applications. It is returned,
if a client_cert_cb() is installed _and_ the client_cert_cb() returns
a value < 0, indicating that it cannot satisfy the request for a client
certificate now and wants to be called again later.
The manual page delivered with all version up to 0.9.6d is wrong, I have
corrected it in the meantime.
