Snapshot is fine, thanks.

3-clause BSD is no problem for me (and it looks like parts of GnuTLS
fall under the same license).  But I do avoid 4-clause whenever
possible.

FWIW ICS market share is down to 4.5% of OpenConnect Android users,
and 6.3% overall.  It was tempting to just ship PIE binaries and
change the minimum supported version to JB 4.1, but the run_pie hack
seems to be working so far.
