Nice job!

The check for gcrypt explicitly is actually there for a reason. We rely on
gcrypt for the NTLM code when GnuTLS is used. So unless you modified that part
of the code, you actually need both nettle and gcrypt for the moment.

Once add support to the NTLM code to use nettle instead, we could probably use
the GnuTLS version as a way to tell which crypto layer to check for first
(nettle, gcrypt) and if the primary fails we can check for the other.
