Correct.  The initial code is in OpenLDAP HEAD now, and you can test 
building it with a HEAD checkout, replacing references in the Makefiles to 
"tls.c" with "gnutls.c".  These two files will be merged prior to 2.4 being 
released.  Right now, Simon and Howard are working out the details on some 
API extensions to GnuTLS around cipher suites.
