Oh, yes, that's more a reflection on the crappy API that OpenSSL has
than on anything else, in my view...

Ah, I'm glad to hear that.

There is, but it was written by Steve Langasek (as I recall...) for when
this was done for OpenLDAP and was licensed under the GPL (and, yes, I
did bitch at him about this...  Didn't help. :/).

I'm not sure if that compatability layer would work (in terms of being
acceptable by core) for PG in any case tho.
