One more thing: I would prefer OpenSSL over GnuTLS any day.  A few
years ago, I had to switch a (daytime) project from GnuTLS to OpenSSL
because GnuTLS was too bad.

However: OpenSSL's license is not compatible with MPD's.  While
writing the code would be legal, and it would be legal for users to
use MPD that way, distributions would be disallowed to publish MPD
binaries linked with OpenSSL.

I have no experience with other TLS libraries.  But maybe TLS isn't
the right choice due to its untamable complexity?  Is there a modern
(and secure) alternative that is lightweight and easy to do right?

To cut a long story short: I don't have a good answer for you.
