About this change, it makes Wanderlust not to depend on external programs such as gnutls-cli nor starttls. On the current Emacs's implementation, STARTTLS connection with external programs needs signal handling which is impossible on MS-Windows. Using built-in GnuTLS library resolves this problem. Is there any licensing problem? -- Kazuhiro Ito
