Sorry. I should have mentioned that the target was OS X.

As Jens comments the security APIs are ridiculously opaque. 
Perhaps this is seen as a necessity in the serious world of crypto - perhaps it 
is just hard to avoid. However, it is a liability.

By comparison libcrypto is pretty straightforward.
The only problem with retaining it is the extra complexity involved in 
integrating the static library build into the project and upgrading the source.
