I think there should be no such situations; the command-line GnuTLS
tools are insecure and unreliable and should not have to be used.  As
with the priority string option, whatever options users need should get
added.  I see those cases as bugs rather than feature requests.

Again, sorry I haven't looked at any of the GnuTLS or other bugs in
weeks, but I should be back in 10 days or so and will make an effort to
work through the backlog.
