But then that means double the work to maintain those libraries in the
future, with duplicate code copies and all.
What are we actually worried about regarding those libs? They are only
used by gnupg, really - gnutls uses nettle now - so the one thing they
would break would be gnupg 1.4...
Maybe we could just test that and see where it brings us instead of
mangling those libraries? :)
