Quite honestly, even though I'm quite an enthusiastic OpenSSL
developer for years and have been for years (since it started,
really), I can't really recommend OpenSSL as an LSB candidate from
that point of view, as it stands today.  Every "major upgrade" (which
we define as a change of x in 0.9.x) has had some kind of
incompatibility with previous versions.

http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/
exposes two APIs: the OpenSSL api (I gather?),
and its own.
Has anyone looked at gnutls's api to see if it exposes fewer structures?
If so, perhaps that might provide a way forward:
apps that need a stable interface can use the gnutls
api (which openssl could provide as a wrapper);
everyone else could use the openssl api (which
gnutls seems to provide as a wrapper, unless I
misread the docs).
