I'm not aware of that second issue, can you elaborate? Did you find these
issues documented anywhere or would you be able to start such a document?
I would also add that OpenSSL is faster than gcrypt for most algorthims afaik,
and that the most significant difference between them that tend to make people
choose one against the other is their licenses.

I don't think anyone will stop you.

I agree that it would be nice with a function for that but I don't think there
is any!
