Why would the OpenBSD team not accept the commits? It is just linking to a system library that will always be present on the platform. It's like saying Windows opensource should be forced to use some thrid party filesystem library.

My guess is they won't just write an openssl to schannel shim and instead sprinkle ifdefs throughout the code which would be a recipe for disaster.

Looking at the new code I feel like the chances this ever makes it upstream to pretty close to 0.

Schannel implements SSL; crypto is in WinCNG these days. SSPI support for Kerberos and EAP would be nice.
Raise an issue and ask?
