Perhaps it would make sense to just have `open-tls-stream' signal an
error on Windows to avoid confusing people? I think this is at least
the fourth bug report where people have spent significant time trying to
debug something that will never work.
It could just say (error "Use an Emacs built with TLS support (and with
installed gnutls libraries)").
