Ouch, I see.   How about something like this:

  typedef enum {
    GNUTLS_DTLS_OVER_DCCP
  } gnutls_dtls_flags_t;

  int gnutls_init_dtls (gnutls_session_t * session,
                        gnutls_connection_end_t con_end,
                        gnutls_dtls_flags_t flags);

A "flags" concept is somewhat more generic since it allows for other
DTLS-flavors than just those influenced by the transport.

Another alternative is to use a priority string but I'm not sure it will
work -- there is the ordering of API calls problem I mentioned earlier.
