I dropped my own dirty patch to this ng some months ago (sometime aroung
november 2009), but it seems it didn't (yet) find its way to the csync2
official code.

You may eventually get a copy of the patch here:

	http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=210768

which is an attachment from Gentoo bug#274213
(http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=274213).

The patch basically "discards" all the gnutls-openssl mess and gets straight
to gnutls native mode. This also *may* mean that one can expect some
interoperability issues after upgrade, because of a *possible* different
handling of the chain-of-trust in server and client certificates between
gnutls-openssl calls and gnutls ones. Anyway, I have no report of this at
the time.
 
Please note the patch is big because it also patches "configure" and
autoconf files. The "raw" patch is instead really small.
