I started on this ages ago but never included anything in OpenSSL. I
partly handled BIO and EVP also using swig. I was starting to look at
handling callbacks then as usual various higher priority things cropped
up.
One of the problems with swig is that it doesn't handle buffers which
can contain embedded nulls automatically (these occur *everywhere* in
OpenSSL) and this usually requires some low level stuff in the relevant
scripting language.
