Why are we looking to use gnutls 1.6? Is there a feature that is needed for Wine? If so, I will have to check Fink before building Darwine again.
Yes, we use the following types and functions (and maybe more) which are not available in the very old Gnutls versions:
Since you stated 'very old' version, so I have a question. When did these functions become available? I am not going to assume that they were introduced with version 1.6.
gnutls_alert_description_t gnutls_transport_set_errno
For the autoconf check it's probably enough to just check for gnutls_transport_set_errno() and warn if it's missing.
This is a good idea. We should check for the newest function and if it is not available, force an error and let the user know that these are available with version 1.6.

The software said it requires Win95 or better, so I installed Linux.
I used "The software said it requires Win95 or better, so I installed OS/2". I miss it. Now I use a Mac and wish I had started with one. </HUMOR>
