I guess that makes sense. It will inconvenience all other packages which
don't access internals and which could benefit from ABI compatibility
and unchanged soname, though.

But for this release, the changes are mainly new features and a bug fix
for cfb8_decrypt. And, e.g., no major optimizations of existing
functions. So probably fairly harmless to force recompile to be able to
use a new version.

Any other opinions?

That said, I would wish a default gnutls build did *not* use internal
functions, and had a configure option to enable use of internals, for
users and packagers who understand the consequences. That would be
analogous to the --enable-gmp-internals configure argument for MPFR.

I don't want to delay the release for that. Ok?
