Excellent, thank you!

Quick comments:

* Please add a comment describing what dump_bytes does, and preferrably
  make it use _gnutls_bin2hex for hex encoding.  Is there a fixed-size
  limit of 128 in the function?  If so, it would be nice to fix that.

* What does the 'bufel' variable name refers to?  It looks non-english
  to me, so I'd prefer using 'buf'.

* Some comments at the top of gnutls_mbuffers.? what it does would be
  good.

More later.
