Done. And it's sufficient to bump the hogweed soname, right? I updated
the description in NEWS as follows:

        The shared library names are libnettle.so.7.1 and
        libhogweed.so.6.0. The libnettle.so library is intended to be
        fully binary compatible with nettle-3.5.

        The libhogweed.so library was also intended to be fully binary
        compatible with nettle-3.5. However, the major version and the
        soname are incremented anyway, to avoid upgrade problems with
        recent Gnutls versions that depend on Nettle internals outside
        of the advertised ABI.

Is that a fair description? I don't think there's any need to mention
any gnutls version numbers here, do you agree?

Regards,
/Niels
