I followed this discussion and agree with Christian in that a 
plugin-like interface
is most probably the "best" solution when it comes to supporting 
different SSL backends.

I just wanted to throw in that it might nice to have the ability to get 
around without dynamic loading after all.
I don't know the current state of uCLinux, but I've had my hands on 
systems, where dynamic loading doesn't work.
This would effectively break SSL for those users.

Nevertheless, I don't know if there are a lot of (or any?) users out 
there that have systems with this restriction
and who (want to) run libmicrohttpd with SSL support enabled, so it 
might be just fine.

I would suggest to anyone who would be affected by this to leave a mail 
here, but so far it seems nobody is bothered :-)

Best regards,
