This doesn't satisfy the license problem at all, since the EAP/TLS
module itself is GPL'd.

The FreeRADIUS website does not distribute binaries, so it's not an
issue for them. And of course, if they did, they own the copyright on
the GPL'd code, so they are free to distribute a binary in any fashion
they see fit, should it come to it.

I'll leave this bug open, for the record's sake, and tag it 'help' in
case someone feels like making a gnuTLS patch for FreeRADIUS...

Just to reiterate, I'm looking for help converting (or even a useful
guide to doing so... Google was singularly unhelpful last time I looked)
the eap/TLS (or eap/Peap for that matter) module to use GnuTLS.

Given the code changes, I can massage them to not break the usage of
OpenSSL in the configure scripts if needed. I just found the GnuTLS
instructions really hard to read.
