Re: [h323plus] Using LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL with GnuGk / H323Plus / PTLib

Excellent!

Are there any tweaks to the configure.ac that should happen to find 
LibreSSL?


And re GnuTLS, the whole point of the PSSLxxx class wrappers in PTLib 
was to allow for use of other API's to OpenSSL/LibreSSL. At least as a 
configure/compile time option. One of these years, someone may cough up 
the time/money to actually do the implementation ....
