So you are looking for a replacement for both libssl and libcrypto. 
gnutls does provide a compatibility interface (built in Debian), 
but it is not complete.

In the gwenhywfar source 

$ grep -r "<openssl" . -h | sed -e 's/#include <openssl\///' -e 's/>//' |
sort -u
bio.h
blowfish.h
bn.h
conf.h
des.h
dh.h
err.h
md5.h
objects.h
pem.h
rand.h
ripemd.h
rsa.h
sha.h
ssl.h
x509v3.h

(16 files)

$ find /usr/include/openssl/ | wc -l
69

So the coverage of the openssl functionality is not that huge. Someone
on this list will be able to tell you better than I can the problems
with porting the above code to gnutls, and the suitability of the
compatibility interface.

(And good luck with gnucash, it sounds like it's been quite tricky for
you)
