Has any thought been given to splitting off the OpenSSL non-SSL BIO (and
possibly ASN.1) code into a separate library?

The reason for doing this, obviously, is to make it easy to write
applications that can use the BIO routines without requiring the full
OpenSSL library, a library which may be legally unavailable to some
users.  Once your network layer is using the BIO library, it's trivial
to add conditional OpenSSL support.

(Well, perhaps *too* trivial considering the number of applications that
"support SSL" in the most minimal fashion possible.  But that could be
addressed with a "best practices" document for coders, something that's
been on my list for some time.)
