I don't know if the patch was even contributed by the time 1.0 was released, but either way, OpenSSL doesn't really take it as their mission to provide important crypto enhancements to the general community. They're a TLS implementation first and foremost, but despite that, they are a de facto crypto engine for open source whether they want to be or not. They are prepping a new release to get TLS 1.1 and 1.2 out there, and yet they still won't include GCM. Presumably because TLS simply doesn't need it. -- Scott
