Hi all

I have looked into it previously, GNUtls has the functionality, and
#defines could be used, however it may be easier to replace complete
functions with GNUtls based code rather than defining around individual
commands.

The catch with openssl is that GNUnet uses it also to pass the config
file, so a GNUtls would need to use another library (e.g. libcfg+) to pass
the GNUnet's config file.

I got bogged down trying to work it out and put it on the backburner, but
Stephen if your still keen i would like to help out.
