Yes, I have something quite similiar in mind...

The application should be able to specify any stream... it just needs
to act like a stream.  -llber should careless what type it actually
is.  It just needs to know how to do some basic I/O operations
upon it.  These should minimally include read and write operations.

Besides the SSL tangle, this should help with errno issues as well.
