If you're lucky, not much work at all since we already support gskit - all
done nicely by Patrick Monnerat. That's the same lib, isn't it? I'm not really
into that area since it implies hardware and operating systems I'm never even
near.

Adding support for a new library is a matter of implementing a set of
functions and providing a header file. See curl/lib/vtls/*.c for how all the
backends are supported.

Most libcurl hackers (and you'd need to change libcurl) are found on the
curl-library list so you'd have to be there to really do it.
