Hello Carl,
Something else to look at, is the NSS library. very similar to OpenSSL but
has some advantages over OpenSSL.
Can you let me know what these advantages are? A cursory Google search of
NSS vs OpenSSL leads to the following interesting documents:
http://www.physics.louisville.edu/help/usr/nail-11.20/INSTALL (search for
the string "OpenSSL offers" in this document)
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/comparison.html
I've been trying to build NSS to no avail. It isn't quite easy as
'./configure; make' or 'yum install openssl-devel', but can pursue this
further if NSS offers some compelling advantages over OpenSSL. (The only
build instructions I've found are noted below, but they don't work.)

Cheers,
