If we want to support the new APIs only starting with GnuTLS 3.4.0,
then this is a step in the right direction.  But is that the intent?
Most of the functions we need are available in much older versions,
and others since 3.2.0.  Only a few appeared in 3.4.0.  So it might
also make sense to make our code more fine-grained, not less, if we
want to make as many of these APIs available on as many platforms as
possible.

But I'm not sure what was Ted's intent, and what we want as a project.
