Try BIO_new_socket + BIO_set_fd

Then do the standard OpenSSL socket loop that repeatedly checks if
OpenSSL wants you to wait for socket send ready, socket receive
ready, data from application ready or data to application ready,
then proceeds accordingly (There is an example in apps/s_client.c,
but it is difficult to read and contains optional stuff you won't
need in your app).  I think there is a better example somewhere.

Enjoy
