Note that ssleay/openssl can be built patent-free with -DNO_RSA, -DNO_IDEA
etc.

Feel free to grab mine.  Its a later code base and is all setup for
BSD make and macros anyway :-)  I also have Makefiles etc for building 
libcrypto.so etc on many *nix.  

Hmmm, might have to think about the libsslfd wrapper library.
See http://www.quick.com.au/help/sjg/sslfd.html
Also I've not yet taken the plunge with openssl vs ssleay.
