Switch to SSL version 3 as the channel encryption protocol. As of http://docs.python.org/dev/library/ssl.html this is the maximally compatible SSL variant.

Coding standards and documentation improvements in dispatcher_nb.py. Many open questions remain at my side. Please check FIXMEs.

Fix a potential bug of missing an alarm_callback. Separate public from internal API.
