I read the man page for libmp (right after sending this mail) and it says that we should move to using BIGNUM in libcrypto directly. Is there a document of some sort that shows how to move things over? At this time, it looks like FreeBSD is the only OS that recommends using something other than (g)mp for BIGNUM support.

It ain't changing in a hurry. :-) I get the feeling that a lot of interfaces are ancient and sacred in FreeBSD (and other BSDs). kaarthik
