Changing libraries because of an "advertising problem" doesn't sound
reasonable. The latter is much more easily solved than the former.

Besides, libtomcrypt doesn't seem to provide SSL or TLS support (at
least the Web page you linked to doesn't say so), so OpenSSL would still
be needed for the ssl module.
