I just used what'a in curl, as directly casting from void* to int
would give this error on 64bit platform:

  error: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]

(Yes, this is tested on Linux 64bit, as I didn't setup mingw-w64 yet)

Casting to size_t works too.

Here's a v2 that casts to size_t and has an improved commit message.

Subject: [PATCH] remote: Fix TLS transport on Windows

gnulib wraps Windows' SOCKET handle based send() and recv() functions
into file descriptor based ones that are used in libvirt.

Even though GnuTLS is using gnulib too, it explicitly doesn't use
gnulib's replacement functions on Windows. By default GnuTLS uses the
SOCKET handle based send() and recv(). This makes gnutls_handshake()
fail internally with a WSAENOTSOCK error because libvirt passes a
file descriptor; GnuTLS needs the SOCKET handle.

To avoid this mismatch make sure that GnuTLS uses gnulib's replacment
functions, by setting custom pull() and push() functions for GnuTLS.
