Well, linking against openssl where gnutls support seems to be
available is at least an annoyance. The alternative is
to upload an alternative libcurl, duplicating the source code,
making it harder for everyone involved. So it is more than just
a avarage wishlist-bug where the maintainer's opinion is the last
word.
