Hi Ludovic,
 I've removed several typedefs to types that didn't exist today, but
this looks like a side-effect. Do you need it be revived?

I don't think that this changed in gnutls. What did change in
3.0.10 is:

** libgnutls: When GNUTLS_OPENPGP_FMT_BASE64 is specified
the stream is assumed to be base64 encoded (previously
the encoding was auto-detected). This avoids a decoding
issue in windows systems.

Is the auto-detection the reason that you thought that this buffer
is base64?

Thanks for reporting these.
Nikos
