It's a path. Just a small warning about license politics: According
to http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/gnutls.html, the GnuTLS core
library is licensed under the LGPL.
Sure. So the OpenSSL community could do a cleanish-room
implementation of the gnutls API on top of OpenSSL.
The gnutls people would probably be happy, since that
would be an endorsement of their interface.
So perhaps it wouldn't be too hard to offer a stable interface
for apps that need it, even before OpenSSL hits 1.0.
