I have made Postal build with either of those SSL libraries with selection via
autoconf. Doing this was a major PITA and not something I recommend doing,
but the code will probably be useful to some people.
Postal is GPL so feel free to copy the source to other GPL projects.

What kind of level of X.509 support do you need? Is chasing
certificate chains a must? Then it can be kind of hard.
If you just look up the certificate in some kind of database, it's not
that difficult. In fact, I think the GNUTLS API is easier to work
with.

I also wanted to port an application from openssl to gnutls once but I
didn't have the time to read all the openssl and gnutls documentation in
a specified timeframe. Is there maybe a porter guide which explains the
functions in a short way and on what you have to look when porting that
stuff?
Thank you and regards,
Mario
