Thanks, Paul. I think you've done much more work on the non-blocking
side, though :)

I think your patch basically ignores the `is_non_blocking' flag if
GnuTLS doesn't support it. Which I believe is OK, since the
GNUTLS_NOBLOCK option doesn't really change the way data is delivered,
so I don't expect any issues from that. Users may be surprised by
different behavior on different platforms, though.

I hope that's helpful!
