I've been using gnutls-3 on one of my devsystems as well, it's just as
you can see from a tracker that some software is still working properly.
But today's screwup with libtasn1 3.0 shows that we really can't keep it
masked much more.

Given that 3.1.2 is not in tree anymore there's no choice uh? Beside, I
don't go masking micro versions around. If you think there's a problem
with 3.1.3, please test and let us know as I haven't hit any (that's
what I've been using myself, and testing the tinderbox against).

The only big problem we're going to hit as I said is that Boost 1.50-r1
and 1.51 don't use eselect boost any longer, which means that the
reverse dependencies need to be updated. Scarabeus was looking into it
earlier today, I was waiting to hear from him as I don't want to go near
Boost in the near future if I can avoid it.
