Thanks for feedback on that.

Thanks!

It would not be fool-proof, so I suggest that only a warning is given in
case the test fails, but the following test could work:
libgcrypt-config --algorithms | grep -i camellia
What do you think?
I don't think we can require libgcrypt 1.3.0+ yet. Perhaps configure
could disable camellia support if a sufficient recent libgcrypt is not
detected?
Btw, in gnutls_priority.c, the cipher_priority array is intended to be
sorted by preference. I believe it is too early to prefer Camellia over
AES and even 3DES by default today. Preferring Camellia over Arcfour
may be a good idea though, we don't want to recommend arcfour to anyone.
So please move camellia down a bit in the cipher_priority array.
Opinions on this choice from others is very welcome.
