Comment (by szaqal21):

 SSL shouldn't be set by constants inside db_connect(), it will force SSL
 for every new wpdb() even for custom (external connections) to databases
 without SSL support. SSL should be set by passing some extra args to new
 wpdb() or some kind of filter before connection is made.

 Attaching my db.php dropin.
