Actually, it's *not* feature-complete even yet.
What basically bothers me about this is that trying to support both the
OpenSSL and GNUTLS APIs is going to be an enormous investment of
development and maintenance effort, because it's such a nontrivial thing
to use properly. It sticks in my craw to be doing that work for no
technical reason, only a license-lawyering reason; and not even a
license issue that everyone is convinced is real.
