  Hi Ed,

  I can't remember how I did it, but since it's not in slackbuilds, I believe I 
downloaded it from gnu.org and made a standard slackbuild thing for it. Somehow 
or another I have gnutls-2.10.5-i486-1 on my 13.37 system. Most of the time I 
put the built package on my other hdd after I've installed it, to keep it safe, 
but I'll be damned if I can find it (probably one of those few times I screwed 
up and deleted it instead of 'moving' it, on accident <sigh> ).

  I also have pan 0.137 on my system (as it tells me so when I open the 
'about/help' tab in an open pan), but in my /var/log/packages I only have pan 
0.135 installed. I more than likely did the 'git' update/upgrade thing I found 
on pan's website

  Hopefully something somewhere in all that will help, heh.

  John
