Thanks for reminding me of this.

I spent my time learning some cryptography and doing other
things, unrelated to Emacs. I feel better equipped now to tackle
this issue, but it will take some time, I expect a month or
less. Luckily I have a lot of free time right now.

My goal is to increase the completion of the Emacs wrapper of
GnuTLS. Originally I cared only to add enough to implement
encryption-at-rest for the circe IRC client.
