Hi Thierry,

My requierements are to get the footprint down to approximately 400Kb,
uncompressed. I dont think this will be a problem, most pieces are
already there it is more an issue of finding (undocumented) config
options (#define's etc) and try to make them configurable from
Configure.

Another issue is the memory usage of the lib. Some algorithms seem to
have recursive and non-recursive implementations. Keep an eye on stack
usage if trying out the recursive ones. 

Timeframe will not be a problem. I will create a patch for my own use
and try to submit the changes I feel can help OpenSSL later. I wont wait
for a release with my patches. Some patches are already in the Request
Tracker.

Good luck!
Best regards,
Enrique
