My experience has been that it is more reliable to test for features rather

Then we have different views on this.
(The preprocessor check also works on _all_ platforms, and thus isn't limited
to those which can run configure. Possibly this is a moot point in this case,
as possibly GnuTLS doesn't build in such environments?)
#define GNUTLS_CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FLAGS_LAST 32
Does this solve your concern? Did you have a better solution in mind?
That solves it and is perfect. Thanks!
If you don't want to add specific feature checks, you could always require
the earliest version of the GnuTLS library that you know support everything
you need, e.g.:
AM_PATH_LIBGNUTLS(1.2.9, starttls=yes, starttls=no)
In my experience, the majority of all users will continue using out-dated
versions (very often they simply remain with the version that comes with their
Linux distro). Setting up strict requirements on "3rd party libraries" will
only cause me grief.
