Ok, I had not understood it correctly.

Since one can hardly traverse the certificate array without knowing its
size, LIST_SIZE should probably be provided by
`gnutls_certificate_get_ours' too (or perhaps
`gnutls_certificate_get_ours2'?).

Actually, I'm writing Guile bindings for GnuTLS, hence my question.
Otherwise, since I've been using mostly OpenPGP certificates so far, so
I didn't really feel concerned with the meaning of LIST_SIZE.  ;-)

Thanks,
