I compiled the trunk with GnuTLS support on Windows 7. If I dont provide 
the dlls (libgnutls-26.dll, libgcrypt.dll etc.) Emacs issues an error 
message on startup ("Dll x not found.") and does not start at all.

Can we make it behave like for any of the graphics dll's, where the 
support might be enabled at compile time, but the dll must not 
necessarily be present to use Emacs at all?

Then, I am trying to use GnuTLS for receiving email with Gnus. How do 
configure Emacs to use GnuTLS? Is there any documentation?

This is my server configuration

(setq gnus-select-method
      '(nnimap "gmail"
                (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
                (nnimap-stream starttls)
                (nnimap-server-port 993)))

Should this be enough or do I need to do anything else?

On M-x gnus Emacs hangs with the message "Opening connection to 
imap.gmail.com..." in the minibuffer and nothing happens.
