TLS is quite a complex protocol. Crypto itself is a small part of it. OpenSSL 
does a good job encapsulating it. Trying to do a comparable job would be tough, 
and - from my point of view - pointless.

On the other hand - don't take my word: you've got a computer - get the TLS RFC 
from www.IETF.org and prove me wrong by adding TLS to Crypto++.
