Of course getting curl to link with an SSL library that isn't GPL incompatible would also be a fix for this particular case, but I consider that a pretty big job that won't happen this year (by me).
I think this might be an easier/faster fix. Licensing is slow to hack, because you usually need other people to agree and it's pretty hard to explain well enough to defeat "my manager/mentor/friend/lover told me to be GPL-incompatible".
Is libcurl-gnutls not already done by someone? You mentioned it in passing in 2002, so I'm surprised. http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2002-06/0051.html

If this a huuuuge can of worms or am I just plain wrong?
Without saying anything on your correctness, I think it's a huge can of worms and debian's not finished fixing many simpler cases of this yet. Good luck!
