GNUTLS has an OpenSSL portability layer, but it is not complete. It would require some porting work. Btw, the build system in ircd-charybdis considers OpenSSL an optional dependency. If it's an optional feature, why not just disable it untill a better solution is found? -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What good is a phone call… if you are unable to speak?
