well, im not having much luck, the RSA struct drags in the openssl structs
rsa_st, crypto_ex_data_st, rsa_meth_st, bn_mont_ctx_st, bignum_ctx,
bignum_st and last of all stack_st, totalling about 40 fields, 10 of them
being function pointers.
I dont think the API was designed with portability in mind. I think its
going to be pretty complex to make a compatability layer, the stack_st in
particular sounds bad.. if that means generating a compatable stack then
im putting it the too hard basket before i spend any more time on it.
Im not experienced in either openssl or gnutls, so maybe im overstating
its complexity.. too complex for me at the moment at least.
