Last time I looked (about 18 months ago), CyaSSL was only ~250kb and API compatible with OpenSSL. Not sure about license compatibility, but if that works out it could make fossil depend on the C std lib only. It would push the fossil binary towards 1.5 MB though. When I first came to fossil it was only ~750 kB, now it is ~1.2 MB. I very much appreciate all the usability enhancements that came to fossil over the past 2..3 years, but sometimes I wonder if it is not time to carefully review overlaps and dead ends in the functionality, and trim the code base a bit -- which could also help with the security and performance work that was discussed on this list recently.
