Note that the past discussion was on the difficulty of matching the
existing OpenSSL API using GnuTLS, which is apparently difficult to do.
I wasn't trying to suggest there were issues specificially with GnuTLS's
code quality. It's more that the APIs are just different enough that
it's not trivial to do a swap--which is surprising given how many people
have seemingly needed to do exactly this conversion. You'd think
there'd be a simple "OpenSSL-like" interface available for GnuTLS by now
or something.
