I have two approaches I'm working on, they are missing a nice interface 
though.

The first one is:
https://github.com/tomato42/tlsfuzzer
and aims to be a comprehensive test suite 

and the other one, simpler (aimed only at detecting incompatibilities) 
is cscan that lives here:
https://github.com/tomato42/cipherscan/tree/cscan-2

Both require just python and have minimal dependencies.
