OpenSSL 1.x is also available in the netsurf SDK. Also, it is compiled 
for coldfire.

Don't know anything about it, but I wouldn't use it - it's too old.

Not any that I know of, each program which uses SSL is linked 
statically
agains an SSL library.
If you want to use SSL - use either OpenSSL or PolarSSL. PolarSSL is 
much
smaller and AFAIK it also should compile well with AHCC (as long as you 
don't
need to include network code - which is not so easy to access from AHCC 
- because of
missing mintlib).

PolarSSL:
http://polarssl.org

(If you just want to have some special encryption or hashing method, 
just include that
file into your project, PolarSSL is modular and also intended to be 
included just partially)

Greets,
