Supporting GnuTLS would be really nice..  That's how we addressed the
same issue w/ OpenLDAP (I was involved in that as a Debian
co-maintainer).  GnuTLS has limitations too, but in the end, I find
those more palatable (and the GnuTLS maintainer is certainly willing to
work on improving it) than dropping readline. :/

        THanks,
