It's hard to understand but it seems PolarSSL uses its own sockets. With 
Openssl, you give your socket, buffer and length, you have created and 
openssl handles it via a structure (SSL_CTX). There as samples like the 
cabssl.ovl sources.
If I use libssl only, OpenSSL is not that so big (< 1 Mo), cabssl.ovl 
uses only this (after linkage, cabssl.ovl < 500 Ko).
The libcrypto of OpenSSL is bigger. In this, I need only the md5 algo 
for some SMTP-AUTH sub-protocols, but it may be interesting to handle 
certificates and other crypto functions...

I will use gcc cross compilation on my MacBook Air, as I did with the zLib.
