 *********************
 
 The GnuTLS library is detected automatically at compile time.  You
 should see that it’s enabled in the ‘configure’ output.  If not, follow
 the standard procedure for finding out why a system library is not
 picked up by the Emacs compilation.  On the W32 (Windows) platform,
 installing the DLLs with a recent build should be enough.
 
    Just use ‘open-protocol-stream’ or ‘open-network-stream’ (the two are
 equivalent, the first one being an alias to the second).  You should not
 have to use the ‘gnutls.el’ functions directly.  But you can test them
 with ‘open-gnutls-stream’.
 
  -- Function: open-gnutls-stream name buffer host service
      This function creates a buffer connected to a specific HOST and
      SERVICE (port number or service name).  The parameters and their
      syntax are the same as those given to ‘open-network-stream’ (
      Network Connections (elisp)Network.).  The connection process is
      called NAME (made unique if necessary).  This function returns the
      connection process.
 
           ;; open a HTTPS connection
           (open-gnutls-stream "tls" "tls-buffer" "yourserver.com" "https")
 
           ;; open a IMAPS connection
           (open-gnutls-stream "tls" "tls-buffer" "imap.gmail.com" "imaps")
 
    The function ‘gnutls-negotiate’ is not generally useful and it may
 change as needed, so please see ‘gnutls.el’ for the details.
 
  -- Function: gnutls-negotiate spec
      Please see ‘gnutls.el’ for the SPEC details and for usage, but do
      not rely on this function’s interface if possible.
