I tried for over an hour just to get gnutls to compile at all under OSX;
all the things it depends on would build, but I simply couldn't get
it to build.   An hour isn't that long and I was tired, but I suspect
building gnutls on osx might be harder than expected. I've put
the relevant spkg's here in case anybody else wants to try:

True.  But that's just the way it is.

Simple question: Can you make an insecure version of DSAGE that doesn't
rely on ssl at all?  Then I can release a new version of SAGE without
openssl in it, without any degredation in performance (except ssl won't
work).  The other option is that I release a new SAGE with DSAGE
nonfunctional until this ssl problem gets resolved.
