I am also thinking about to port openssl to an embedded system and noticed the 
the discussion. 
What sizes have you come down to ? and does your embeded system have filestorage ? 
fopen() or is the certificates 
stored in char []?

The core question is what i takes to port it to an embeded system.

Best Regards

Andreas Bäck
