It is not as simple as it may seem on the first glance. Many components in
OpenSSL are somewhat linked. If you want to use SSL you need to be able
to do several things:
* use the respective encryption/authentication algorithms needed
* support the handling of X.509 certificates
+ requires the respective algorithms
+ requires the ASN.1 handling code
+ requires the OID handling code and OIDs
It finally boils down to the point that most of the OpenSSL library code is
needed, just omitting some extra alogrithms and the error strings...
