Just a small amount of Schadenfreude here when I point out that as I was
reading through the long list of GnuTLS security advisories at
http://www.gnutls.org/security.html it seems that a number of them would have
been avoided through the use of the EtM that Nikos has been so strongly
opposed to :-).
