Agreed. The readme is the only place we mention other Windows binaries - e.g. image binaries. Why treat GnuTLS specially? Either mention GnuTLS only in the readme (preferred) or mention in the announcement each of the binaries that mentioned in the readme (not preferred). Wherever GnuTLS is mentioned, the mention should be accompanied by a short description. IMO, the readme is the proper place for this.
