Moving any of this excellent code-base in the GNU direction would be very
disappointing.  The GNU libraries are huge and nearly indecipherable.
Once you start with GNU, your entire library gets infected with it (i see
error and string handling, bignums... all gone and replaced with the
monolithic GNU libs).

Small independent code bases like openssl and apache work very well
together without the added "efficiency" of a common underlying GNU
library.... and should probably remain that way.
