IMHO, use GnuPG instead of OpenSSL. I'm trying to remove the last OpenSSL
dependencies from Gnus (ssl.el and sha1-el.el are done, I'm working on
starttls.el, smime.el is the next step). Perhaps supporting OpenSSL as
well is OK, but I think the defaults should be to use GNU tools where
available.
I wrote an elisp AES implementation some time ago
(<http://josefsson.org/aes/>) but I'm not sure using it is a good idea,
password based file encryption is more complicated than the block cipher
primitive.
