Sorry. I should have mentioned that the target was OS X.
As Jens comments the security APIs are ridiculously opaque.
Perhaps this is seen as a necessity in the serious world of crypto - perhaps it is just hard to avoid. However, it is a liability.
By comparison libcrypto is pretty straightforward.
The only problem with retaining it is the extra complexity involved in integrating the static library build into the project and upgrading the source.
