Ah yes, thanks for setting me straight. I should start with
that. Actually, this is not too complicated, and I just prepared this
patch save for one thing: how should the ORed values be passed in the
last parameter?

In C, it is an 'unsigned int' of ORed values of type
'gnutls_pkcs_encrypt_flags_t', whose enumeration constants are
detailed here,
<https://gnutls.org/reference/gnutls-x509.html#gnutls-pkcs-encrypt-flags-t>

See the patch attached (do not merge yet?).
