I was kind of surprised by the same thing, but I guess I shouldn't have been.
This only scratches the surface of the horror that is the OpenSSL API, but
what's really scary is that the two main alternatives (GnuTLS and NSS) seem
even worse. I used to have hopes of switching to PolarSSL, which has a
better and better-documented API, but I keep getting buried by other tasks so
I don't know if/when that will ever happen.

You're quite welcome. Misery loves company. ;) Please keep us informed of
your findings.
