Quite true. It would be far easier/cleaner, IMHO, to build a separate OpenSSL COM-wrapper, which could then be used to call OpenSSL from any given language that supports COM: VB, Java, C, C++ (the latter two wouldn't really need to go through the wrapper though. :-)) I've built a couple of different COM objects around the OpenSSL data types and their functions in my day, but I'm not familiar enough with the subtleties of OOP & COM design to have acheived anything I'd call fully Reusable just yet. If anybody's looking for code examples however, I'm sure I should be able to throw something together.
