Hey, so I'm trying to do some reviewing.

What was your reasoning for creating a new gnutls/dane package, rather
than adding unbound to the existing gnutls package?

I don't know much about GnuTLS, but it would be good to make it clear
why this approach was taken, especially in the commit message and by
the gnutls/dane package definition.
