Pleaes remove hard tabs and fix indentation.

Does this still pass all the tests?

Pretty obvious code duplication.  Can't that be shared?  What about:

DJabberd::Connection::add_ssl_disconnect_handler($conn, $ssl, $ctx);

When ready, would you mind submitting your next patch to
http://codereview.appspot.com/ ?  I've added djabberd as a repo there.

Thanks!
Brad
