Related to this discussion and to bug#14774 (audit_log function, which
is only in GnuTLS 3.x)...
I found that many platforms are still on GnuTLS 2.x. Unfortunately I
think we should keep compatibility with 2.x for a while longer and make
the 3.x features optional. I hate that ambiguity and testing is made
harder, but OTOH we would keep supporting many users.
Here's a simple patch that finds GnuTLS 3.x and sets HAVE_GNUTLS3. In
that case we set the audit_log function; otherwise we keep
compatibility. Note the configure message that GnuTLS 3.x is highly
recommended.
Let me know what you think and if I should be more forceful here. If I
should keep the compatibility path I will also add a
`gnutls-library-version' string variable so ELisp code can use it and
start moving on the tasks listed in this thread.
Thanks
Ted
