Chris,

On initial inspection of this recipe it looks OK, what package/libraries 
does it provide?  Are they the same as the openssl package?

You may need RCONFLICTS_${PN} and/or RPROVIDES_${PN}, where the ${PN} 
may need to be the package names in openssl, I need to check that.

I would suggest that initially you make this available as a standard
layer, possibly called meta-cyassl, it could be hosted on GitHub. You 
can add it to the OpenEmbedded Layer Index. See 
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/LayerIndex

Distributions that want to use this instead of OpenSSL can then use your 
layer and select your recipe, if it's setup correctly it will provide 
what they need.

I hope this is helpful in moving things forward for you.
