I just installed something similar, and removed the
GNUTLS_CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FLAGS_LAST hack.

The NEWS file contain:

- Added numeric version symbols to permit simple CPP-based feature
  tests, suggested by Daniel Stenberg <address@hidden>.
...
LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR,
LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MINOR,
LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_PATCH,
LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER: New CPP symbols, indicating the GnuTLS
                          version number, can be used for feature existence
                          tests.

And gnutls.h would contain:

#define LIBGNUTLS_VERSION "1.2.9"

#define LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR 1
#define LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MINOR 2
#define LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_PATCH 9

#define LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER 0x010209

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Simon
