Summary: Configure fails to use GnuTLS

Initial Comment:
A configure with

 ./configure --prefix=$HOME/merlin/local --without-ssl \
 --with-gnutls=$HOME/merlin/local --disable-shared \
 --enable-http --disable-ftp --disable-gopher --disable-file \
 --disable-ldap --disable-dict --disable-telnet --disable-tftp \
 --disable-manual --enable-ipv6 --disable-ares --disable-sspi \
 --disable-crypto-auth --without-libidn --without-zlib \
 --without-ca-bundle

gives part of output

  checking for gnutls_check_version in -lgnutls... no
  configure: WARNING: SSL disabled, you will not be able to use HTTPS,
      FTPS, NTLM and more.
  configure: WARNING: Use --with-ssl or --with-gnutls to address this.
  configure: WARNING: zlib disabled

This is because the "-lgnutls -lgcrypt -lgnutls-error" is assigned
to LDFLAGS, not LIBS, and in the configure test this means the
order on the command line is wrong. I.e. close to

  gcc ..... <libs> conftest.c

that will fail to link. The patch change the libraries to be
added to LIBS instead.

Just a note. It is a bit odd that to enable GnuTLS I have to
give --without-ssl, and then --with-gnutls.

Thanks, I applied and committed this patch now.
I agree the option naming is a bit "funny", but it works and
apparently no one has felt it being awkward enough to
warrant a proper fix!
