+- SSL code is still too large:
+  - plenty of dead or unnecessary code imported from gnuTLS
+  => hunt for more dead code!
+  - some code is replicated (also in libgcrypt)
+  - libgcrypt is used, and is also bloated
+  => integrate required portions of libgcrypt into our tree
+     instead of linking against it
 - Make sure SSL works on non-GNU/Linux platforms
-- Fix compiler warnings in gnuTLS code 
-  (largely signed vs. unsigned char)
