lynx and ofx are the ones that come up on my system.
I guess that doesn't count as "extremely heavy". It was the standard
advice when we became aware of the openssl license problems that
developers were advised to link against gnutls-openssl instead of
ssl. It is good that this is minimally needed.
The real question is not so much whether we have a compat layer, as
much as we want gwenhywfar to be usable in GPL'd programs. ;)
