I've just pushed support to the repository for building with *both*
GnuTLS and OpenSSL simultaneously.

It'll use GnuTLS for the HTTPS connections, including all the PKCS#11
goodness.. Since that's all that's included in the libopenconnect
library, it's enough to fix the KDE licensing problem. And if your
version of GnuTLS doesn't include the Cisco DTLS support, it'll *also*
link the openconnect executable against OpenSSL and use that for DTLS.

So now you should have everything working? even if your GnuTLS is as old
as 2.12.16. Unfortunately, Fedora *still* isn't shipping GnuTLS 3.0, and
isn't even planning to do so in Fedora 18, citing the libnettle
requirement and alleged patent problems with the unconditional elliptic
curve support as reasons?.

? The one thing that doesn't work with 2.12.x is warning the user that
  their certificate is about to expire, and working around an OpenSSL
  but on the server, *if* the private key comes from PKCS#11. Not many
  people will care about that... and I could even fix the expiry check.
