I think you will find the combination of the nss spell and selecting yes to 
nss as optional depends for gaim will fix this.(gaim has needed nss for ssl 
for the last 2 or 3 releases)
we don't have gnutls but nss works.
If it doesn't work would someone file a bug and CC me ?
I was last to work on both nss and gaim spells, so I should be made aware of 
any real problems. 
the version of nss provided by mozilla/Firebird is broken (doesn't include 
the 
full headers) so gaim only enables nss if nss itself is installed.
Eric if you want to forward this back to that list, and tell them they are 
welcome to use my nss spell.
