Do you want to work with Christoph Scholtes to make a GnuTLS W32 build
part of the Emacs W32 build?  That would be terrific and we wouldn't
have to tell our users to download an extra DLL every time.

That allows us to make the choice of whether we should keep in sync with
the latest GnuTLS or refresh occasionally.  Testing will be harder if we
keep in sync, but has obvious benefits for both projects.

Thanks!
