Hello,
 Most probably the code needs to be updated or we could just copy
these definitions from the older nettle. Nettle 3.0 broke API and ABI
and porting gnutls to it would take some time. As its API and ABI
aren't stable yet and there are no new features we urgently need from
it, porting to it is not on my immediate plans.

Nikos
