  Since we don't normally build with -werror we should not need to
fix this for 0.9.1

Curl seems to have hit the same, and suggest to use
gnutls_priority_set_direct():

  http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-04/0162.html

But the 2 functions are completely different, however at
  http://hackipedia.org/Software/GNU/gnutls/gnutls%20-%20Transport%20Layer%20Security%20Library%20for%20the%20GNU%20system%20v2.8.5%20%282%20June%202009%29.pdf.raw-conversion.utf-8.txt

  there are examples of the use of that function, taking a description
string instead of a list of parameters

    gnutls_priority_set_direct (session, "PERFORMANCE:!ARCFOUR-128", NULL);
    ...
    gnutls_priority_set_direct (session, "NORMAL:+SRP:+SRP-DSS:+SRP-RSA", NULL);
    ...
    const char *err;
    ret = gnutls_priority_set_direct (session, "PERFORMANCE", &err);

  Seems that instead of building a list of int, one need to build a
  string, and there is a better error reporting mechanism.


The main problem though is that we are gonna have to detect it in configure
because the replacement function gnutls_priority_set_direct is not
present in older release like gnutls-1.4.1 used to compile on RHEL-5 for
example.
