Not sure that came across very well- curl did something right in terms
of their vTLS layer which allows for building curl with a number of
different SSL/TLS libraries without the core code having to know about
all the differences.  I was suggesting that we might want to look at how
they did that, and naturally discuss with Daniel and ask him what
thoughts he has from having worked with curl and the vTLS layer.

Thanks,

Stephen
