Summary: curl fails to link against gnutls-2.11.1 using libnettle

Initial Comment:
By default, gnutls-2.11.1 uses libnettle instead of libgcrypt as a default crypto backend. If built in that configuration, it is no longer linked against libgcrypt.

curl however, when built with gnutls support, uses libgcrypt functions without linking in libgcrypt explicitly. Thus, with this new version of gnutls, it fails to build due to unresolved symbols 'gcry_*'.

The solution is to either drop dependency on libgcrypt functions completely or to depend on it explicitly, linking against it as well. In the latter case, it might be useful to separate the gcrypt dependency from gnutls in the configure options.

I'm attaching a build log for curl-7.21.1. I was able to reproduce the issue with today's git too.
