(and I _am_ sorry for my confused behaviour on this problem.)

bug I thought I saw before when I changed this...!

on Solaris and FreeBSD. At least.

(missing file, bad file, etc), gnutls will no longer handshake properly but it
just loops forever. Therefore, we must return error if we get an error when
setting the CA cert file name. This is not the same behaviour as with OpenSSL.

Question/report posted to the help-gnutls mailing list, April 8 2005.

internally, with code provided by sslgen.c. All SSL-layer-specific code is
then written in ssluse.c (for OpenSSL) and gtls.c (for GnuTLS).

As far as possible, internals should not need to know what SSL layer that is
in use. Building with GnuTLS currently makes two test cases fail.

TODO.gnutls contains a few known outstanding issues for the GnuTLS support.

GnuTLS support is enabled with configure --with-gnutls

layers and it won't make sense to provide a numerical version for it. I also
doubt that many people have used this for anything critical.

to explicitly disable that first with --without-ssl. Initial attempt.

include, as it seems at least some AIX versions don't really allow it to be
include at the same time as the original nameser.h.

should come from <ws2tcpip.h>, but Winsock 1.1 should
suffice.

(IRIX 6.5.22 it seems)
