Why are we talking only about Windows? Do packages of Emacs 24
development snapshots on GNU/Linux come with GnuTLS in the same
package? If they do, then I agree that the Windows binaries should
also include GnuTLS; but if not, I don't see why Windows should be
special in this regard. We don't want to confuse users by providing
functionality only on some platforms.
