SSL (not TLS) is actually really simple with any inetd-compatible

So how does Gopher deal with that? How does the client recognize there's
a gopher protocol in the SSL stream?

The server doesn't know it's SSL - stunnel converts a secured connection into an unsecured one and vice versa. That's pretty much the idea of stunnel - convert any existing service into SSL one.
