That's terrific.  Thank you for working on that.

Are you interested in adding support for the more recent versions of
GnuTLS as well (2.10+)?  I stopped with the one generally available in
Debian at the time (see
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/75001).  It's on my
TODO list to upgrade to 2.10 and add callbacks for certificate
verification, but if you want to try it I would be grateful.
