For the VeNCrypt project, I have been building GNU TLS with MS VC 6.0 (as part of the project like zlib). I thought, that the project would prefer out of tree GNU TLS, but: If somebody with commit access, would commit (a not too broken) solution for adding GNU TLS to the TigerVNC sources, I'll start working on this. > On a related note, Adam, do we still need to support autotools on > Windows?

CMake works fine with > GnuTLS, as far as I can tell. They are useful for cross-compiling (mingw as cross-compiler) - in fact, they were the only way for me to get an working windows viewer with GNU TLS support.
