OpenVPN GUI is an application that is not part of OpenVPN.
The fact that it is provided within the same installer is a
mistake in my view.
It also does not working in many scenarios OpenVPN support
as it does not use the management interface.

The tap also is not provided as it also should have been provided
by a different package, as it is too being used by other projects,
such as coLinux.

As OpenSSL does not have stable ABI, compiling two projects with
different versions of OpenSSL, and loading the two into the same
process results in invalid behavior.
