Yes. And it is very new also. I only mentioned it for completeness and
for the future DemExp client that we will put in each wireless phone. :)
(that's said, this is not such a stupid idea. It could break the social
barrier of demexp acceptance.)

Not at all. Demexp is at 0.1 and is very stable. :) More seriously,
OpenSSL is used by very well know projects, most notably ssh on the
debian. I don't know any use of gnutls.

Great! Of course, I'm willing to also help on that side.
