I'll see what I can do.  I'm using the Courier package from Gentoo
Linux, which builds Courier against the OpenSSL library by default.
I'll need to see if there's a setting in the ebuild or the Gentoo USE
settings which will affect this.

The Gentoo package maintainer for Courier used to be on this list, and
we had quite a discussion with Sam a year or two ago re. autoconf
settings and files.  Don't know if he's still subscribed or not.

If I can rebuild Courier against GnuTLS, what's the proper value for the
TLS_PROTOCOL setting?
