Patch for mod_ssl

I'd like to make the following change to mod_ssl in 2.2. It's actually  
a documentation change, in the sense that it changes an error message,  
but I wanted to be sure that there's no strong objection to the change  
before I make it. This attempts to avoid the confusion that happens  
when you get an error message that doesn't actually tell you anything  
useful.

Note: I've also made this change in trunk.

Thanks.
I've applied the patch, based on the approval received so far.
I like error messages that are informative and tell you how to fix the  
problem.
