bug#14380: 24.3; `network-stream-open-tls' fails in some imap servers on w32

[João Távora]

OK, I see.

Honestly I thought builtin tls was some kind of tls library in elisp.
Needing external libraries doesn't make it very builtin :-), but
that's just my opinion.

In any case, my description shows how it "almost worked" with whatever
tls client it found (it was probably cygwin's, but I didn't check).
You might want to avoid these bug reports by fixing it the way I
suggested or some other way. Or not. All is OK from my part.

Thanks for the support,
João
