In a quick test, I do not see any problems introduced by the patch,
and for "recent" gnutls, it is able to connect to
	https://contributors.debian.org
but it does not address openssl and less-than-bleeding-edge gnutls(*).
So I think it will work (for me) as a starting point, and for Debian
as an interim patch.

At the moment I'm working off an (older) backlog for vile, thinking
to work on lynx's backlog next.

(*) in an earlier check, I found that "older" w3m and links worked,
    using openssl but elinks did not.  So I have to do some investigation.
