Hmm I have spent some time working on a very tiny async app using gnutls.  It
utilizes a single callback to handshake and then disconnect from a server, as I
will describe later.  In my testing with this, however, I uncovered a larger
and previously unknown bug in pre-existing software which I have now begun the
long task of attempting to fix.  Thank you for your advice.

In thanks, I have written and documented a small test program (attached) which
performs an asynchronous remote connection to verisign.com (an easy site to
find that has an ssl certificate).  It requires eina and ecore from the
EFL/enlightenment.org to compile/run, but should serve as a good standalone
reading example to include since it is well-commented and short (11
gnutls calls, 3 ecore calls total).  Feel free to modify/redistribute if you
would like, with or without attribution.  I hope you find it useful.
