I made it optional because some people insisted that they could make it 
work with mozilla-nss stuff, or didn't see why they needed MSN-SSL 
support (if they only want AIM for instance). The compile without gnutls 
is completely unaffected by this addition, so I blame it on the gaim 
develpers. It probably means that you have to add --without-gnutls and 
--without-nss flags too, which would be ultra ugly and I would not like 
to see gaim in any way depend on mozilla at all.
