you can look at nss_compat_ossl
http://rcritten.fedorapeople.org/nss_compat_ossl.html
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/nss_compat_ossl

but when I talked to guy who work on Fedora Crypto Consolidation it was 
suggested not to use the abstract library, since all these TLS 
implementations have kind of different "philosophy". It would be much cleaner 
to use separate plugins for different TLS.

Note, that we will appreciate a lot going with NSS.
